Been lurking for a while again... If any of you young ladies born in the 50s and interested what's going on re pensions, there are a few groups on FB eg 50s WAGS. 63 is the new 60, waspi voice. I know there is a march in London on 21/2 but if you can't get there the are asking peeps to write to their MP

I belong to https://www.facebook.com/groups/1822597324655016/ Am not 60 yet but interested in all this as Im sure it will affect us born in the swinging 60s too.
Will look at those other groups , so thanks

Tiny...can I put my LL hat on and ask how do they rent their property....
ie from what type of LL...we fall into several groups!

does the LL only own the flat that is rented to your DD and BF?.....if so is there a possibility that the LL might be what can be termed a reluctant LL, and therefore open to the possibility of selling the flat to DD &BF?....This is getting more and more common especially if the owner of the property ever wants to step up the property ladder and buy again....2nd home stamp duty is quite hefty and needs to be paid if they ever buy anything else.
Sometimes selling to existing tenants can be easy and cuts out the hassle of needing to find a buyer.

Has your DD also registered specifically with EA's and given a list of wants in terms of property...if they are serious buyers they are in a good position(in renting I assume they only need to give a months notice,and ideally have at least a decision in principle on a mortgage) and should be encouraging EA's to be searching for them...leaflet dropping local areas etc
Registering on rightmove for alerts is all well and good but registering direct with the agent gives a golden opportunity of at least 3 days before the property is uploaded to RM and goes live.....thats how we found the last flat we bought...saw,offered and accepted even before RM got involved.

If I were an EA.....I'd be actively searching for their home!

He is a LL with a portfolio, I don't think they want to mention moving to him as they are only on a rolling contract with months notice from him and he has been so good to them, their rent has not increased in the nearly 4 years they have been there.

They are registered with all the local EA's and yes got to hear about the last property before it was marketed but it was done on an open day basis last saturday and marketed before that even though they had an appointment booked before it was on rightmove. They think they have built up a good rapport with this particular EA now, he even wished them good luck yesterday.

They did have a mortgage in principal when they started looking this has now expired and was less than what they can now afford as her BF changed jobs last november for higher salary but not got three full months wage slips yet. They didn't want to apply in principal again until they were sure they wanted somewhere due to another credit check against their name but think they might do end of month to confirm exactly what they can borrow.

It is mainly the school catchment that is causing the problem which I as i said in the back of their minds now another year and a half wait might not be a bad thing, they have waited so long now anyway. It's a shame the cheaper properties are in the catchment areas of schools needing improvement according to OFSTED.
