Agreed: that the Council continue with the purchase of relevant properties up to a combined value as stated in Appendix 1.
To enable Communities & Housing to continue to purchase suitable, properties and to retain them within the Council’s housing stock, to increase the number of larger family homes and accessible flats available to let at a social rent level using the council’s allocations process. The Council has a very high demand for 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses and ground floor flats across all areas of the city but very little availability. The purchase of properties from the open market will increase our housing stock.
