Inside Housing analysis has revealed that major city councils are failing to replace homes sold through the Right to Buy since the government introduced a larger discount for tenants.
Birmingham City Council has the largest shortfall between homes sold through the Right to Buy and replacements either acquired or built, with only 253 homes replaced against sales of 2,627 homes since 2012/13 when the government increased the discount council tenants could get when buying their home through the Right to Buy.
Leeds and Sheffield had the second and third-largest shortfalls in replacements respectively.
