At an official Sealing Ceremony held today (January 24\) in Cardiff, the Abolition of the Right to Buy and Associated Rights (Wales) Bill became an Act of the Assembly.

The Bill aims to protect the stock of social housing in Wales from further reduction, ensuring it is available to provide safe, secure and affordable housing for people who are unable to buy or rent a home of their own. It complements other actions being taken by the Welsh Government to increase the supply of housing.

Minister for Housing and Regeneration Rebecca Evans AM said: 


> “Between 1981 and 2016, over 139,000 local authority and housing association homes were sold off under the Right to Buy.
> 
> “We know this has led to many people, including many vulnerable people, waiting longer to access a home that they can afford.  This legislation will give social landlords more confidence to invest in new housing, by removing the risk of these homes being sold after only a few years.
> 
> “We are committed to creating 20,000 more affordable homes by 2021, and we are supporting social landlords to help us to achieve this.
> 
> “We will shortly be publishing more information for tenants which will be circulated by their landlords, to better explain what this Act means for them.
> 
> “By protecting the stock of social housing in Wales, we are ensuring it is available for the long term to provide safe, secure and affordable homes for the people of Wales.”

This Bill was introduced last March, following a White Paper consultation in 2015, and now passed, abolishes all variations of the Right to Buy, including the Preserved Right to Buy and the Right to Acquire.

Right to Buy will finally be abolished on the 26 January 2019 for existing properties, one year after Royal Assent. But to encourage investment in new homes, the rights will end for homes that are new to the social housing stock, and therefore have no existing tenants, two months after Royal Assent, on the 24th of March 2018\.

Mewn Seremoni Selio swyddogol a gynhaliwyd heddiw (24 Ionawr) yng Nghaerdydd, daeth Bil Diddymu'r Hawl i Brynu a Hawliau Cysylltiedig (Cymru) yn un o Ddeddfau'r Cynulliad.

Nod y Bil yw diogelu'r stoc o dai cymdeithasol yng Nghymru rhag lleihau ymhellach, gan sicrhau ei bod ar gael i gynnig tai diogel a fforddiadwy i bobl nad ydynt yn gallu prynu na rhentu cartref eu hunain drwy'r farchnad dai. Mae'r Bil yn cyd\-fynd â chamau gweithredu eraill sy'n cael eu cymryd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i gynyddu'r cyflenwad o dai.

Dywedodd Rebecca Evans AC, y Gweinidog Tai ac Adfywio:


> “Rhwng 1981 a 2016, gwerthwyd dros 139,000 o dai awdurdodau lleol a chymdeithasau tai o dan gynllun yr Hawl i Brynu.
> 
> “Fel canlyniad i hynny, rydyn ni'n gwybod bod nifer o bobl sy'n agored i niwed yn aros am gyfnodau hirach i gael cartref y maen nhw'n gallu ei fforddio.  Bydd y ddeddfwriaeth hon yn rhoi mwy o hyder i landlordiaid cymdeithasol fuddsoddi mewn tai newydd, gan ei bod yn cael gwared ar y risg y bydd y tai hynny'n cael eu gwerthu ymhen rai blynyddoedd.
> 
> “Rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i greu 20,000 o gartrefi mwy fforddiadwy erbyn 2021, ac rydyn ni'n cefnogi landlordiaid cymdeithasol i'n helpu ni i gyflawni hynny.
> 
> “Byddwn ni'n cyhoeddi mwy o wybodaeth i denantiaid cyn hir, a fydd yn cael ei dosbarthu gan eu landlordiaid. Bydd y wybodaeth honno'n egluro beth mae'r Ddeddf hon yn ei olygu yn eu hachos nhw.
> 
> “Drwy ddiogelu'r stoc o dai cymdeithasol yng Nghymru, rydyn ni'n sicrhau bod y stoc honno ar gael yn y tymor hir i ddarparu tai diogel a fforddiadwy i bobl yng Nghymru.”

Cafodd y Bil ei gyflwyno fis Mawrth diwethaf, yn dilyn ymgynghoriad ar y Papur Gwyn yn 2015\. Bellach, mae'r Bil wedi'i basio ac mae'n cael gwared ar yr holl amrywiadau o'r Hawl i Brynu, gan gynnwys yr Hawl i Brynu a Gadwyd a'r Hawl i Gaffael. 

Caiff yr Hawl i Brynu ei diddymu'n derfynol ar 26 Ionawr 2019 yn achos eiddo sydd eisoes yn bodoli \- flwyddyn ar ôl cael Cydsyniad Brenhinol. Ond, er mwyn annog buddsoddiad mewn cartrefi newydd, bydd yr hawliau'n cael eu diddymu ar gyfer cartrefi sydd newydd gael eu cynnwys yn y stoc o dai cymdeithasol \- ac felly nad oes tenantiaid eisoes yn eu rhentu \- ddau fis ar ôl cael Cydsyniad Brenhinol, ar 24 Mawrth 2018\.
