Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (25 014 944)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 11-May-2026

East Devon District Council (25 023 824)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 11-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a Right to Buy discount as it is reasonable to expect the complainant to ask the court to decide her case.

City of York Council (25 011 427)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 07-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a neighbour encroaching on a property Miss X intends to buy from the Council. It was reasonable to expect Miss X to appeal to the District Valuer to have the property valued, any remaining injustice is not significant enough to warrant investigation, and we cannot achieve the outcomes Miss X seeks.

Leicester City Council (25 022 100)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 06-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about delay’s in progressing her Right to Buy application. It would have been reasonable for her to use the statutory delay procedure and if needed, the alternative court remedy.

London Borough of Southwark (25 022 885)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 06-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint that the Council caused the complainant to lose out on a Right to Buy discount as it is unlikely we will find fault plus the decision on the complainant’s entitlement to discount is a decision ultimately for the courts.

London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (25 015 849)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 29-Apr-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s refusal to accept his application for its Home Buy Allocation Scheme. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to justify an investigation.

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (25 021 048)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 27-Apr-2026

Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about repair issues at a Council property as it is not within our legal remit. We will not investigate the associated complaint about the right to buy the property as the complaint is made late and we cannot achieve the outcome the complainant seeks

City of Wolverhampton Council (25 019 359)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 16-Apr-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a ‘right to buy’ application. It is reasonable to expect Mr X to take court action.

Woking Borough Council (25 018 983)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council house sales and leaseholders 15-Apr-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of the complainant’s right to buy application. This is primarily because it is reasonable to expect the complainant to use, or have used, the alternative court remedy which is available. An investigation is also unlikely to achieve much more than the apology and financial remedy previously offered by the Council.
