    For people who are unable to buy a property and have a slim chance of getting a housing association property (or don’t want to live on a housing association estate) the only option is private renting where you are at risk of getting notice to leave at any time, can’t really make it your own or put down roots...I’m surprised the government/developers haven’t realised there are many out there who would jump at the opportunity to have the chance of a guaranteed long term tenancy
    The average tenancy length is around 4 years.
    I’m unsure how that comment relates?
    What length do you consider to be a long term tenancy?
    As long as you want to stay, a place you can settle in, improve, not worry about the landlord selling up
    What you are suggesting is pure fantasy.
    Seems not - previous poster Amandacat has confirmed there are developments specifically for long term renters- seems like some developers are jumping on 👍🏼
    Amandacat has told us a nice little story with no actual evidence.
    I’m sure when we do see the detail we’ll be able to judge whether these schemes allow the ‘renter’ to stay there ad infinitum with no ability for the ‘landlord’ to seek repossession.
    How you think what amandacat described is the same as your OP or your follow up nonsense I don’t know.

    FYI Rent to buy schemes have been around for quite a while and are generally more expensive ways to end up buying a house. They are the housing equivalent of PCP car finance. What they are not is an everlasting rental scheme.

    Well to be fair I just asked you how long you considered a long term tenancy to be. Your response was ‘as long as the tenant wants’.

    I can say with reasonable confidence that most people would consider that to be nonsense.

    Such a system would have disadvantages in inflexibility for the landlord over a normal tenancy - so I would expect rent charges to be higher, which in turn would make them less attractive for the tenants...

    You perhaps want to read that further. The rental properties are managed through a housing association which is no different to any other new build development which has an element of affordable housing. 

    The developers sell the affordable housing to the housing association at cost.

    Tirion Homes are highly unlikely to make someone leave their home as they died/got divorced/need the money etc - the whole point of my post was how difficult it is to find somewhere secure to live whilst privately renting

    Thanks. I’ve been through the website but I can’t find the part where it says you can rent a property and never be evicted. Can you point it out for me?
