To ask the Scottish Executivewhat the combined sale value was of all properties sold under right-to-buy legislation in each of the last 10 years, broken down by local authority area.
The Scottish Government collects information on the numbers and prices of local authority stock sold to sitting tenants. Sales of former local authority stock following stock transfer to housing associations are also included, as are sales of former Scottish Homes stock. However, there is no centrally held information on the sale price of the majority of housing association properties, and so these are excluded from the table.
The following table shows the total value of all sales to sitting tenants between 1998-99 and 2007-08. Figures are shown in current prices, and include Right to Buy, Rent to Mortgage, and voluntary sales.
