Do the council still give those voucher things for decorating when you move in?

Do the council still give those B&Q vouchers for paint and stuff when you move in. I know they did 3 years ago, when me and my dad first moved into this property but I don't know now :S

    Sometimes. Depends if the property you get needs any.

    It would depend on what each Council's policy is. In my previous authority we used to issue vouchers, but in my current one we issue a decorating pack where tenants are given a choice of colours etc.

    It might be a council trying to find out who they issued it to and who sold it..........sorry i am being silly..they do not care..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
