scared and sink
don't worry I think if you pay a reasonable rent for your needs and the amount of money coming in I don't think the OR will say anything
example if you both work and bring in 2000 per month and your rent is £650 I can't see that being a problem
but if only one of you work and bring home £1200 pm and you go for a £650.00 for a house that is better than the one you are leaving then he could say something.

Thank you,You are making m feel loads better..Yeah between us b4 bill etc between us we take home just over £2000.....so do you say sign and go 4 it??

curly04

well we was in the same boat as you take home pay £2160.00 and was worried going for £575 OR has said nothing

doesn't sound excessive to me.... you need somewhere safe to live and as long as it's not a penthouse then it'll be fine

scaredandskint

But would you say your rented house is average or above average,are rent is gonna be £75 more than yours!!!

curly04

Hi Scaredandskint, although i havent read everyones replies i just wanted to say our rent is £680 a month, hubby takes home less than 1700 per month, nothing has been said about our rent although we do have 3 children, do you have any or is it the 2 of you?

Thank you every body,so glad i came on here!!!!Are mortgage is £608 vairable and our secered loan is £320,so hoping £650 rent wont upset him,as he can use the loan towards an ipa.Ive looked at a 3 bed semi,very much like my house other than its go a conservatary.Is it me or is it mega hard finding somewhere where they hav you if your bankupt and a dog,and in a nice area and a non damp house?Also got to consider my 1 year old,thats what upsets me the most,up rooting her from her room and home Also the rented house i looked at was a long term lease,which i thought was goood,means we dont have to move every 6 months or whenever.

I was paying £250 mortgage £435 first charge £425 second charge £125 another charge. This was for a tiny 2 bed house
I now have a nice 3 bed house ( for 2 adult) but it has a down stairs toilet and with me being disabled it given me a bit more freedom (don't live in my bedroom when I get home from work anymore)
