sherradk, we were in private rented housing and when landlord hit financial problems he had to sell the house we was in, so we was homeless.
my wife viewed the house on a "non refusal" basis, we had to accept the house or we wouldn't be offered another one so looking at all the problems wasn't an option.
this is the council that also allowed the house to pass safe to move in with the following problems---
hole in bath so couldn't bath as water just ran out
stair railing not secure to wall
garden full of broken glass, food waste and god knows what other rubbish was there
no gas for a week
doors that dont close
all this with 3 kids that i have to support that aren't my kids as there dad is a junkie and can't even afford a birthday card for them
the compensation claim was advised by c.e.o secreatary for all the booked days off work as time slots for repairs are 8am-6pm and they fail to turn up to between 10-15 slots so i have now put a claim in as its holiday i have used unnecessarily.
expensive machinery and tooling is out of the question as you can see but i could easily quit my job go on benefits, claim depression (get my garden sorted by council as i've gt illness through it) pay solicitors for my childs access battle on legal aid, and for it all to be funded by your'e taxes which wouldn't be right
