inbiscus Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I am considering buying a house, really attracted by the price of council or ex-council properties. The location of netherthorpe should be alright. What else could be the problem? I am a first time buyer and have been in UK for less than a year. So, any advice will be welcome. Thanks.

redrobbo Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You can't buy a council house unless you are an existing occupant of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inbiscus Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks for the reply. Does that mean all for sale council properties are actually ex-council properties? Is the city council still the lease holder? I asked the agent if it is a council house, he said it was "eithor council or ex-council". They seem to provide little information.

inbiscus Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Thanks for all the prevoius replies. I was just informed by the agent that it was free hold. I see lots of people talking here about waiting for the council houses. How is the feeling of living in a council property area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
