Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    When I was in hospital after giving birth, there was another lady with her first born who refused to leave the hospital until she was offered housing by the council. She quoted some rule that the hospital were obliged to let her stay until the baby was 28 days old while she was homeless. Of course she was taking up valuable space in the maternity ward and a couple of phone calls from the hospital to the council saw her being offered a suitable property.

    Wow! She certainly seems to know her rights.
