Do people who've never worked a day in their life, and had the goverment pay all their rent still have the right to buy at massive discount?

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

Thanks mate. I saw it on the news and it got me thinking.

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  Grin

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.
