My elder son has lived in a council flat in Greater Manchester for something like 7 years. This means he is able, if he wishes, to purchase it at a knockdown price under the 'Right To Buy Scheme'.
However, he has a bit of a dilemna with regard to whether or not to re-decorate the place. It certainly is in need of a lot of attention but he's worried that the place might get valued at a price higher as a result of doing so.
Consequently, he's inclined to leave things as they are and so resulting in a lower valuation and hence he'd be looking at lower mortgage costs. I'm very interested in finding out if others have been in a similar predicament.
