Browse ex-council flats for sale

Back in the eighties Maggie Thatcher decided to sell back swathes of housing owned by local authority to the private property market. This covered everything from post-war tower blocks to semi detached housing. The result: property that was cheap enough and more affordable for first-time buyers and lucrative opportunities for the canny buy-to-let buyers. The beauty of these properties is you are likely to get more bang for your buck and council flats are often are very central.
