Abstract: In this paper we examine the potential of council tenants and private-sector renters in England to become owner-occupiers, using data from the 1988 General Household Survey (GHS). Methods pioneered by Littlewood in her analysis of data from the 1978 GHS are applied in this paper. A sensitivity analysis is also presented which shows the impact of different loan to income ratios on the ability of council and private-sector tenants to buy a dwelling. Finally, we consider the impact of the right to buy discounts on the ability of council tenants to buy their homes.
