Thirdly, Clause 7 exempts council-owned market rent homes from the right to buy, supporting councils to use mixed-tenure and cross-subsidy models to deliver more housing. This recognises the important role that market rent plays in enabling councils to generate additional income to reinvest in new social and affordable homes. As I continue to emphasise, these changes are part of the wider package of reforms to ensure that more homes are built than lost, while maintaining a route to home ownership for long-standing tenants.
