As everyone else has said, get out there and find the accommodation, hassle the council on a daily basis, whatever's necessary. If you were genuinely doing everything possible for three months, you'd get the hint that it just ain't gonna happen. And you'd make the right sacrifices (change area, move schools, get a smaller house, whatever).
Alternatively, you can sit back and wait for the Council to sort you out, then whinge because you're not automatically their biggest priority.
Good point and it is worth mentioning that she is there with her new partner who can do doubt assist with the house-hunting when he is not job-hunting."If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

It doesn't appear from the OP previous posts that it is a case of DV, just her wanting to move to Cornwall.
"me and my partner currently live london with our son and my two children from previous relationships.
my eldest sons father is causing trouble for us here in london and making life very stressfull.
my partner has family who live in cornwall.
we would like to move to cornwall as we need a fresh start"0 -
Yes..i would like to move to Cornwall too but to a nice part. I've worked all my life but still cant afford it. If i cant,why should anyone else be gifted it?Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

For what possible reason would she form any kind of romantic attachment with Moat? I doubt he had much love in him for he had issues too and probably didnt know much about love as he hadnt had any himself. No..she probably got with him for all the wrong reasons.poppy100

She was only 15 when they met (he was 30) - her mum had taken to her to a nightclub even though she was underage, and was happy to let the bouncer Moat buy her drinks and take her home at the end of the night. Very sad.
Another sign of Broken Britain.
Moat may well have had a Svengali like hold over her and her f&ckless mother failed to protect her when she was vulnerable. Stobbart had kids didnt she? were they Meatys?

Lance,
The OP was not living with the violent person. She was with her new partner in Surrey and he and the OP are now in Cornwall. The ex-partner has not kept the Surrey house - it looks as though this has been repossessed by the council as presumably the OP has abandoned the property.
Or have I misunderstood?
You are right, but Wee Willy is desperate to give her a house anywhere she likes as soon as she screams DV regardless of the facts. This is our benefit / legal aid system in action.0 -

And Samantha Stobbart is a fine example of the limited success this "neutralising" can have.0 -

You forgot to mention.....
"while we were here my ex partner threatned my familys lives if we returned to surrey. he also attacked my friend who was looking after my house while i was in holiday, the police were called and they visited my friend to see what had happened, but my friend didnt want to take it any further because he was to scared."0
