So if I want to give land to a friend, I can be forced to sell it if one of these groups have shown interest? That sounds very strange

- obowersa 4y agoAt a high level, yes. However there are a lot of checks and balances to it. Not all land falls under the criteria and there's a lot of requirements around forming a group and the proposed use of the land ( such as being geographically local /etc ). When I last looked into it, I think there'd only been 2 occurrences of the right to buy happening over a 4 year period. Which does raise the question on 'Does the act achieve the goals it was setout to achieve' or is it mainly political posturing. That's not something I can really comment on (nor would I want to).
