rosieadamson Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 as far as i can see the most under occupied people in this country are the royal family, who get paid a civil list which is a type of benefit, i wonder how many spare rooms they have and are they going to pay the difference i dont think so.

molly44 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 if it is i will be really relived i have been worrying already how i am going to manage to keep up with the increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidley Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Cant see the problem with that. Anyone who buys a house can expect to pay more for a larger property. Yes if you are buying your house you will pay more for a three bed room than a two, I think the two parties in power AND the labour party are trying to get this country in a situation where it has to be seen that you are better of in work and not better of on benefits we've all heard of atos, and people are complaining about such things as this but i can only see it getting much worse. With regard about the extra charge fore unused rooms what if people just turn round and say i am not paying it where would they put them all, in tents in Graves Park perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosieadamson Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 if we all lived in france maybe we would do that kidley, they all fight for what they want in france, this country just sits back and does as its told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly44 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 there are records waiting lists already for council properties so i dont think the council would struggle to re-let repossed properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would they do with the people that lived in the houses what they have reposed mainly older people i would think which they HAVE to house that is the question?

rosieadamson Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 from what i can see we will end up with large houses that no one can move into unless your working, and then as soon as one of your children are grown up and they move out you will have to move again for being under occupied.

Resident Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 What else would it be? My "spare" room was converted into a home office type affair. I haven't a reason to convert it back. It doesn't affect me but I was just curious. If it was built as a bedroom then it is a bedroom under the rules Well that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if that wasn't the case every body that it concerns would be putting desks in their spare bedrooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
