Buying your council house in wales if you’ve lived in the property for 20 years

Buying your council house in wales if you’ve lived in the property for 20 years — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I would like to start a petition to reinstate the option to buy your council property in wales, if you have lived in the same property for 20+ years and have a record of not missing a rental payment. It was abolished in 2021, but with criteria met I would like the option to be reinstated.

Additional details

Myself have lived in my council property for 22 years, I have made improvements with council permission and never missed a payment for rent and would like the option to buy the house from my current housing association and council when meeting certain criteria that can be put into place. The option is available still in Scotland and England and have not followed Wales’s decision, I would like wales to reinstate the option to give people like myself a chance to get onto the property ladder.
