Would you buy your council/ housing association property?

If you knew you would never be able to afford buying your own home any other way would you do it if you had the opportunity?

It depends how much I liked living there and how long I planned to stay.

Yes, but I would check:
How much any ground rent and service charge might be
How much mortgage payments would be in lieu of rent and that I could afford it (including any extras currently covered by rent, such as buildings insurance)
How secure I felt in employment - housing benefit doesn't cover a mortgage, I don't think.
Is it a good deal?

I don't agree, overall, with the sell off of social housing, but as an individual, you have the right to do it, it's legal, so why wouldn't you?
