I have noticed there is some snobbish bias about people who bought council or HA homes on the right to buy scheme rather than people who bought on what others deem a private estate.
Home ownership is not to be sniffed at regardless of it was a private estate or former government property.
My parents bought their house a former HA on what is now a sought after area with good transport links and easy access to the city center with plenty of new build houses bungalows and apartments being built.
They were able to pay cash for theirs so didnt need to take out a mortgage.
At the time you required to have been renting for ten or more years to qualify.
Even some private estates have been subject to compulsory purchase orders for new motorway links or regeneration etc.
What do others think.
