We've fallen in love with a house that was previously a council owned property. It's in a really nice area, the majority of houses and maisonettes have now been brought and privately owned, but certain family members have turned their noses up and said they wouldn't buy an ex council house! I wasn't bothered (and I'm not now either) but thought I'd ask - is it not generally the thing to do?! I wasn't even aware that anyone might think it was a problem. It's a nice big house built in the 1950s and feels sturdy and homely. Those family members can be a bit snobbish about other silly things.. What does everyone else think?
