Typically if the local authority are satisfied that the seller is purchasing another house ( i.e not going to be homeless and therefore back on housing list) and the purchaser is going to occupy the house( i.e is not an investor but is someone who will live there themselves) consent is given. However this is subject to the proviso that the devil is always in the detail and before buying you should read all the small print with the benefit of legal advice.
