My
son and I have been living with my parents and my brother since
we moved out of our own house, away from my partner.
The
closeness is getting to be quite claustrphobic and I am resenting
the position I've been forced in to.
Because
I have my name on the deeds to the other house the council won't
listen to me, or point me in the right direction, let alone help
me.
Because
my ex-partner won't move I have to fight him which could take forever
and when I eventually get my share of the equity it will only be
enough for a deposit.
For
the mortgage on the remaining 90% of a tiny, run down two bedroomed
flat in this area I would need to be earning over £40,000
a year.
How
many single people, looking for their first home, let alone a little
family like us get a salary like that without taking their clothes
off?
I can't
afford rent around here which is actually more expensive that mortgage
payments.
Thank
goodness for housing associations, I wish there were more of them
and the ones that do exist could afford to expand.
The
government need to look in to housing associations to help solve
their affordable housing problems because any new build at the moment
would STILL be out of my reach.
