The right to buy the property you rent, with government assistance

“Redistribute onwership of housing stock by assisting private tennants to buy thier rental accomodation.”

2. How does it fit with Compass’ core beliefs of equality, solidarity, democracy, freedom, sustainability and well being?

Currently the vast amount of this countries’ built assets are in the hands of a few. Redistribute this wealth by creating the legal right for private tennants to buy thier rent accomodation. This is simply another mechanism by which the goverment could channel money to the alilying banks. Whilst at the same time redistributing the built assests of the country.

3. How does it build the institutions of social democracy, like social groups and collective and cooperative forms of ownership and control?

Tennants currently unable to purchase thier rental properties because of an insufficient desposit or because the current onwer does not wish to sell would be given the legal right and the cash.

4. How much will it cost or raise and where will any cost come from?

The money currently being pumped into the banking industry could be put to some use on it’s way there. It would generate spending in the economy which would benefit everyone.

5. Which groups in the electorate are likely to support or oppose this measure? Is there any polling evidence you have on this?

Landlords would fight any law that would insist that they have to sell a property. In fact legally it is probably a grey area.

6. Is there a place or country where it’s worked? Please provide some information.

No

7. What are the three main arguments in favour/against it?

The goverment is currently giving money directly to the banks with no easily percieveable benefits to the citzens. Some of this money should go into a deposits for first time buyers fund. Through this fund renters could withdraw money to cover the deposit needed to purchase the property they rent. The money ends up in the banks pockets but on its way there it has helped to redistribute the built assests of this country. Generating spending in the economy and getting the housing market going again.
