Thanks for all the replies..I did not mean to intend it to sound as i was trying to fiddle to claim maximum benifits..I am just trying to see what options i have as it seems that all equity etc will be going on another house in rent and all thats been worked for over the years will be lost.

1. I have contacted a few Housing Assosiations ane awaiting for a response.
2. I do not want sheltered housing.
3. I can not really get the property (mortgage) with what has been offered so far but am still looking at other lenders.

I like the idea of renting out my current home and then maybe renting somewhere else but will have to look into this.
