‘Best council houses in Lancashire’ coming to Bamber Bridge - and this is why they will be affordable to rent, but not to buy
Cllr Bretherton said at a recent meeting of the authority that South Ribble was building what would probably be regarded as “the best council houses in Lancashire”.But he added: “It will come at a significant cost and I just hope that the tenant can share in that benefit.”
“The people that tend to be renting council houses can’t get [a] deposit together, can’t…raise the funds to even think about buying their own home,” Cllr Tomlinson said, adding that while there was what he described as “a risk” that the council would have to sell-off some of its new homes, it was an “all but negligible” one.Council house tenants can get a 35 percent discount if they opt to buy their home after living in it for between three and five years.
