They didn't have to buy the house , they chose to buy it

My view is that council houses should never be up for sale and those offered them should refuse to buy them

Then , when they pass on , the house goes back to the council to offer another person or persons low rent housing

Thus we have a supply of housing for those who need it at low rented cost

If houses are sold they are lost forever and mostly never replaced

The individual circumstances of why people buy council homes are irrelevant

It's as simple as that
