We grew up in this property. So I lived here between the ages of 5-20. Then I returned, recently, in 2010. I have been here (recently) for three years. I am 34.
I do not know whether my parents obtained permission for the conservatory. I believe they did not for the outhouse. We were overcrowded in the property, and the council refused to move us into larger accommodation. Thus, the outhouse and the partition in the living room were necessary to provide us enough bedrooms.
I should perhaps add that the tenancy was originally my mother's; it then passed to my father in 1990, when she left.
The council are fully aware of the dilapidated state of the property.
In terms of what belongs to me, we are talking about a small number of boxes of personal items. The rest (furniture, beds, etc. etc.) were never mine, but belonged to my father.
