On the subject of right to buy houses, it is quite feasible isn’t it, that the people who bought the right to buy houses were quite old, have since died and their children have sold the house on.
There is no reason why they would not have sold to a private landlord.

Many reasons, a stat it is but like all statistics the result doesn't necessarily equate to the implied result.
