Yeah, that was my biggest worry. But you can get hard standing pitches with plug in electricity. I figured if I got one with a loo I could use it if I really had to. It's just me, so would be ample space.

IIRC some of the better sites have hard standing pitches with water and drainage now.

They've finally brought caravans into the 21st century.

And they're still crap.

In the end I just picked a random town and booked into a hotel and said "I'm going to live there".

Sounds more like Alan Partridge.

Is it? I was warned off there as you have to go through what was told to me as "Murder Mile" to get home. And it's all the same. I've not found one local yet that knows their way round there.

I even worked with a girl that said she had to use GPS for 3 weeks to find her flat as it was all so confusing.

Really, Cardiff Bay is really not a very large area and can't imagine being lost here. Maybe your thinking of tiger bay in Cardiff. Although close it's not actually where I live and isn't very nice. I don't have to walk through there to get home. Anyway, with everything in the bay there's not much need to go into town.

This sort of thing always makes you wonder where the government got it's £60,000 house thing from.

As less people are able to pass the checks, voids will increase and eventually the checks will be discarded.

They are a guide, not the be-all and end-all, as mentioned. A guarantor solves the problem, a reference from existing landlord would also help, as would a bank statement showing regular rent being paid.

Don't forget that there are plenty of quality tenants not covered by the credit check system including all newly arrived immigrants and anyone too well off to need credit - ie has oads of money in the bank, pays off all credit cards monthly has no mortgage on property etc.
