yes ,although the discounts aren't that high these days, so in theory no one in that situation could afford to buy anyway

yeah a funny one , if a tenant came into unexpected money maybe - i don't think h/b tenants can be discriminated against in that situation .
A bit like a lottery winner having to pay back all the dole money he or she has ever claimed  |

if they're not working they can't get a mortgage can they?

no Burton - mainly because the discounts aren't like they used to be - no one can afford to buy in work or otheriwse ,in the old days they may have decided to get a job after many years of not working to get a mortgage primarilily to buy the house at a discount -

Maximum discount is 70% now but limited to around £80k. More in London.
You get 35% discount after only 3 years. |
