- The government is making funds available to build new homes - some £11bn
- homes sold under right to buy do not disappear.
- you cannot get 70% discount on a £499k council home
- You cannot force a council to sell you a home for less than it cost to build and maintain
- House builders don't make a huge part of their profit on rising values between start and finish (its 1.5% tops)
- House builders make a killing on new builds, but council employees can't figure out how.
- Rental Yield does not increase because a property has fallen in value. [Its (rental income - operating costs)] / [(the price you paid + acquisition costs)]
- Private landlords don't get subsidies to buy houses for the private rental market
- Housing associations are public bodies
