A RENT to own scheme already operating in the Highlands “beats Douglas Ross’s policy hands down”, a charity boss has said.
In his speech to the Tory conference on Monday, Ross touted a rent to own scheme amid housing market turmoil and fears of soaring mortgage rates following the UK Government’s disastrous mini-budget.
But Ronnie MacRae, CEO of Communities Housing Trust (CHT) who has been running a similar scheme since 2011, said that the Scottish Tory party leader's bid is less “affordable” than the Scottish Government-backed project.
