Hello peeps :hello:
Long term member of MSE but first time on this particular board.
I am asking on behalf of a friend....first some background. My friend is 36 years old, single, childless and in full time employment. She is currently living with her parents and is desperate for her own home. She is unable to buy a property as the prices in London are through the roof and the same could be said for private renting.
She has applied to her local council for accomodation and has been awarded 470 points. Is there any way of her going up the list reasonably quickly? At the moment it is looking like she will be in her dotage before they will house her.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
