Repossessed houses for sale?

[Thirsty]

The previous mortgage holders .......have in all likelihood been rehoused by the council in a house just as good

I find this hard to believe - do you have any information to support this assertion?

I am talking about houses in an ordinary estate.Naturally if the house was repossessed from a posh upmarket area, the family might get rehoused in a house in an ordinary estate.
I assume that the dispossessed family rent a house and get the rent allowance if they can`t afford the rent.Or that the council rehouses them directly.
