If we get evicted from a house can we never go back there again?

Nice for some people to get a 3-bed house for free.

The rest of us have to work everyday to pay for you. I spent three hours standing on a platform today waiting for my train to come so that I could get home from work and back in the next day to pay for your house while desperately saving for my own one to start a family in while also paying taxes for your grace-and-favour home.

I hope you are grateful to the poor sods who have to work for a living and aren't as privileged as the landed chavtry.

Oh pish off!!

So who should get social housing then? Would you rather people who got a house from the council worked and paid their own rent?

You better sit down for this but I live in a council house <wow, gasp, shocking> and it is not a "free house". We pay our rent every week, I have never claimed benefits but I ended up in social housing for various reasons. Yes, i just love living in my free house surrounded by drug dealers, drunks, hoodies, yobs and constant vandalism. yep, I am indeed living the dream surrounded by graffitti, rubbish, used needles. Oh the joy I have every morning when I open the curtains and see the sess pit I live in.

But we have now saved enough for a deposit and had an offer accepted on a house :T so hopefully we should be leaving this gop hole soon. And as for my "free" house, I have paid 8 years of rent which is dead money. I could pay rent for 50 years and the house will never be mine.

So grow up and hope you never end up in the situation where you need social housing because it is not the fantastic happy world you seem to think it is. It may be a "free house" but you dont get a choice where you live, (and if you can buy who would want to own a house on a sink estate?), you cant say anything about the neighbours who move in next to you and you always have the threat of being evicted if you dont mow your grass enough or leave your bins out the front.

When the OP pays for me to live in a 3 bed house then I'll take it easy.

It is the most appalling injustice that one section of the population have to commit their life savings and get eye-deep in debt for decades while working themselves into an early grave to have a house while the other section of the population get a free house and free income paid for by the former.

I'm sorry, but I dont see how that right. Its simply unreconcilable with any concept of natural justice.

get over yourself, how exactly do you know just what your moneys going to?

shes not even in a house and already youve jumped the gun and started chopsing, moan about something more productive that your moneys paying for.

by the way, getting in debt comes down to your own actions, not paying taxes LOL

I know everyone (almost) had been supportive on this thread so I wanted to come and let you know that we have a viewing on a house today at 4pm. One of the 5 that was on the list, we decded to apply for just one in the hope that others applied for 3 and if they had more points than us they would get offered one of their other choices and we would get offered our only choice. if that makes sense.

It worked anyway, we have a viewing at 4pm and I have been told we are 1st on the list and the council told me 'if the moving in date is after the bailiff date then let me know and we can sort something out....' so that kinds of says it all really.

Fingers crossed. I'll be back to update later on tonight but I thought I would let you all know what had happened and thank you all for your support over the last 7 months (has it really been that long??).
