Is there a website telling you where the council or ex-council houses are? I don't want to buy one, just want to be as far away as possible from them.

    ha ha as bad as that sounds I agree with you.

    and my flat is ex-council!

    Not all council or ex-council accomodation is terrible, y'know. I used to live in an ex-council flat in Hampstead.

    This always makes me laugh.

    There is a shortage of available council housing now sooooo where do you think the next generation of perceived chavs are going to live. Yep you have it in one, private accommodation

    And where is this accommodation, Yep right again, probably in an area that you are going to buy in.

    There is no guarantee unless you have millions to buy a detached house in the middle of nowhere that you wont encounter someone whom you dislike. Some of the most obnoxious people i have ever encountered have been suburban curtain twitchers.
