Nailit - I don't really care about your opinion of me - we have zero chance of ever meeting as we don't mix in the same circles, so make your petty little judgments against me if you want.
Water off a ducks back!

I havnt posted too much recently on here and certainly not in news, but theres a good chance that I could loose my accommodation thanks to Maximus (previously Atos) and I could find myself homeless, moneyless, etc.
Easy to blame the Tories, but Phoney (sorry, I meant Tony) Blair started it.

How will they be financed? The same way as any new housing is financed. They will put up cash from reserves or borrow the money from banks to build them and get a return on that from the rental income. It will be a lot better return than keeping cash in the bank.
( Just watch 'Homes under the Hammer')

Cool :-)

[Islay]

Rent another place then nailit!

[EDDIE51]

Nalit, ATOS are / were a disaster. Over 75% of their adverse decisions were reversed on appeal. So if it does come to it, straight down to the CAB and get an advisor to put in an appeal on your behalf.

EDDIE, and Maximus are even worse....

Haha Eddie @ 19.09....and all these "model" tenants clean, decorate, repair and maintain these properties just as diligently as owners? Err no... You will find that is not so.
Any equity gained in the property market is immediately re-invested for needy repairs(see above) or more housing stock.....don't think so..... it is invested in big wages and jollies for the council staff and large ones all round.... as well you know if you have been in H.A. rented property for 40 years.

[Islay]

Nice Nailit!
If its so difficult for you to rent somewhere - do something about it!!
Stop sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself!

[woofgang]

The solution is simple and some authorities do it already. If a property is empty and inhabitable, then hike the council tax. And hike it again. And hike it again. And so on.

[Old_Geezer]

There is something grossly insulting about the idea the State can covet and just take over an individual's personal property using whatever excuse they can think of. That is not the free western society we and our forefathers strove for.

Seems someone is determined to remain in opposition no matter what sort of hash Theresa the Appeaser may make of Brexit.

[woofgang]

pressed enter too soon....no this won't put homeless people into the empty properties but it will fund the building and renovation of other properties for homeless people.

//If its so difficult for you to rent somewhere - do something about it!!//
So difficult to answer you Islay, because you are not in my position...
So I wont even bother except to say that please enlighten me just how to rent a property without any money.

[Islay]

The obvious thing to say to you would be get a job nailit.
And for your information I have been unemployed and homeless - but I didn't let it beat me!

[Jackdaw33]

Full of the milk of human kindness is Islay!

[nailit]

//And for your information I have been unemployed and homeless - but I didn't let it beat me!//
If that really is the case then I would be the first one to want to hear how you overcame that. Seriously!

As regards getting a job, Theres nothing that I would like more. Ive been at my happiest when in work. Recent years have taken a different turn. I have developed an anxiety disorder, sometimes just getting out of my flat is a nightmare. I'm currently under the 'care' of mental health proffesionals. Don't know what the future holds.
Glad that ur doing well but don't assume that what holds true for you, holds true for everyone else.

£1 homes here with loan aid to make habitable.

I agree Wolfy.

Every sixth month an empty property should incur a hike in council tax.

Sorry for interrupting the feud folks.

//£1 homes here with loan aid to make habitable//
Just why are some people so thick?
Those homes come with so many conditions....not least that £60,000 must be spent on then over the next 15 yrs.
