Best video I’ve seen on this on TH-cam

[@fruitloops5467]

Well done young lady , I think this video should inspiring to youth, alot of young people think at 25/26 they gonna a mortgage on luxury house, it does not work like that, life happens. I would like to young people where possible under 25 should stay at home for university or really cheap hostels whilst at Uni.

It's not impossible for single person to get social housing. But it's just harder and less priority .

[@ashleesabode]

Yes exactly, which I’ve emphasised in part 2 (link in the description box below) 🙂

[@littlemisskate4254]

It depends on the situation as I am 45 years old with depression,anxiety and also leukaemia, which means I cannot have kids and I have a lot of other health problems. I was living in a studio apartment before I got my council property and for the first year, I love being in my studio apartment but then eventually found out that it was a nightmare as it suffered so badly with damp and the heating didn’t work very well and my landlord wouldn’t do anything about it but to cut to the chase I got put on a high party list for council property and within about a year I managed to get my lovely new build flat in my village which has turned out to be so great.

Mostly only Females get housed. Also very hard for black males

[@keys6]

​@@comixdus202 totally correct...

[@fiona3821]

Thanks for sharing. So you tried all the council outside of your area?

[@teeteeme5752]

The university I attended was outside London, but I don't know how you can have two jobs in London and commute. I had my job close to school because of lectures and assignments. That's mad crazy having two jobs in London and uni is in Luton.

[@STARZldnlyfe]

Do you have any recommendations on who can help with accommodation in london today

[@dancers10]

Good luck, you should keep posting.

[@nubiandoll7]

What band number were you put on?

[@ashleesabode]

I wasn’t eligible to go onto the housing list as I wasn’t considered a priority. But remember Councils and Housing Associations have different requirements.

[@JC-ce8uw]
