I've just decided to buy an ex council house which is in a decent area. Its the area i grew up in and the house prices are really steep in the village, the only affordable houses are the ex coincil ones, now i've seen loads of them being bought and generally the streets are getting smarter and smarter and its in a very desirable postcode.

What do you guys think about buying this type of property? Is there a stigma attached to it at all?

I'm not looking to make a killing on the house but I think buying this type of house in a desirable postcode certainly cant do any harm.
