Bath and North East Somerset holds no housing stock and
therefore cannot offer tenants of Social Housing the right to buy
their own homes.
The Council does however aim to support the development of
over 100 new affordable homes each year. Since the Council
transferred its housing stock to Somer Community Housing Trust in 1999, the
Council works in partnership with a number of Housing Associations, to provide affordable
housing. Bath & North East Somerset Council will jointly
fund these new homes along with the Housing Corporation.
