Ex council houses stigma?
Does that stigma or snobery with ex council houses still exist? I mean 3 beds on leafy streets (like WGC, for example, where some may cost more the the private newer house).
They seem uglier externally, but the ones I've seen are larger, more solid than the ones privately built after the 80s; at least in the Home Counties.
Some new homes I've seen the walls are made of plaster boards and I was told by the estate agent that I could not put much load in the loft!

I live in an ex council house which we bought from the previous owner on 1986
We have never experience stigma at all, and don't know why anyone would
Ex council homes are built to last, unlike some of the privately built ones
Our home was built in the 1920s, and is sold with large rooms and plenty cupboard space
I would never buy a new home,as they are all tiny with low ceilings and little storage space

One can only generalise but usually ex council houses sell for a lower price than a similar non council house. This is mainly because the house itself may be perfect but it is still on a council estate surrounded by council houses.

Good solid houses built to last and an awful lot of people have bought their own and sold them on.
The only stigma is small minded people. You can always paint the front.
