For your own homeless situation, contact Shelter for advice on your status, they give free expert housing advice. I'm aware of restrictions on support for ex-pats returning and certain groups of new EU claimants. However, when Tower Hamlets council tried to use the 'intentionally homeless' criteria to Bangladeshi migrants applying for social housing, saying they'd made themselves homeless by moving overseas from homes they...

Showing a crowded street is not a selling point. It's hard to tell that 2 and 4 are of the same room... Strange to show two different pics of the kitchen too when they don't add anything different.

Landlord, whoever they are, regardless of who they rent to, need to abide by all rules, laws, regulations, taxes... If not prepared to, don't be a Landlord - Cheers! Lodger

It should still be marketed at around the going rate. I have just bought a repossession - been on the market since February - my offer of 15% below AP was accepted. The last one we bought before that we paid 14% less than asking. Both had 'issues'. If it has just hit the market then you will struggle to have an offer that low accepted - it's likely at the least to be referred back to the lender.

Sorry - very hard to understand the position from your post. I assume you are a landlord with an obligation to provide a safety certificate? Quote: the new gas safety certificate says "Next safety check due within 12 months" What is the date on the certificate? If it is within the last 12 months, what's the problem? If it is more than 12 months, then get a new one!

Yes its your sale he's making hard but at the end of the day its still his house until you buy it. Its obvious he doesnt want to sell. The ex is probably being harsh about it, you're being harsh about it and im better he has absolutely no support at all. I know you're not concerned about his welfare at all but as its all tied into this you need to at least acknowledge it. Maybe the divorce wasnt his fault, maybe the lost job...

Just to warn you, brit is a hater of all shared ownership/equity schemes. Please take any advice with a pinch of salt, he(she?) is desperate for a crash, as they want to buy but can't afford to, so just screams a crash will happen constantly in the hope it will influence people. He has as much idea of what is happening in the housing market as the rest of us - i.e. none whatsoever. Look at some posts in the house price debate forum...

Thanks to all those who have replied. I don't know of ANY lender who will lend on benefit income. The simple answer is she wont get a mortgage. Saying an application is in is a bluffing tactic. Has she paid any arrangement fees / valuation fees??
