If they're desperate, then your daughter and her partner need to increase their income and/or reduce their expenditure, and save for a deposit. They are really lucky to have a reduced rent to help them do this, and if the place feels cramped to them that could give them the motivation to get serious.

As things currently stand, I don't see how they could or would maintain mortgage payments (plus other home-owning costs) even if you did pay to help them get started. You can't do it all for them.

The average cost of keeping a dog is around £1,200 per annum.


So without the dogs, it would only take 5 years to save the 10% deposit on a £100k property.


If they are that keen to get out of social housing and get on to the "property ladder" then the solution seems pretty simple.

Hmmm, I think you're barking up the wrong tree with this one...

To be fair pets are a choice and not a necessity like rent and food.


If you complain that you can't afford xyz then they have to take responsibility and not look at others to blame but look at saving and cutting away the excess.

We're not talking about some boring old cat here. A dog is for life, not just for Christmas
