An upsurge in applications to buy council homes in Scotland has followed plans to tighten up right-to-buy regulations. These new rules will mean that after 30 September, new tenants will have to wait five years before they have the right to buy. However the restrictions will not extend to existing tenants who have their rights protected but there is a possibility that many have been misled by the new rules are rushing into panic buying.
