Ok, in process of buying a new-build.

 

Want some price estimates for the following, getting some cash together.

 

* Painting & Decorating, full house, 3 beds, living room, kitchen, hall, landing 1 bathroom, shower room and Downstairs WC ??

* Carpeting all through the house ??

 

Aint got a clue about the first.

 

Any advice appreciated.

Who funds housing associations?

 

A. the taxpayer

 

B. the tooth fairy

 

 

or C. the tenants rent.

 

Housing Association are more efficient and provide better housing than councils.

 

FACT FACT FACTY FACT FACT.

Dogshit

 

How can thr'epance rent, which we know is less than the mortgage, be enough to pay for these new houses?

 

Tell us you've not received any grants from local or central government, or the EU.

 

Go on.

Principle is fine, shared ownership is a good thing.

 

Building nice new houses for bone idle filth to smash up isnt.

We get some money indirectly from Government via Housing Federation but if we did nt do what we do the councils would have to provide housing themselves and maintain it and we do it better and more efficiently than they do. (That is on the housign building side)

 

They are in effect out sourcing part of their operation because we do it so well.

 

We operate at a profit so do nt need to be propped up fianancially.

 

we also do get money from government via housing benefits.

So the answer is A, the taxpayer.

 

 

Carry on doing a sterling job my friend. Like I said, I think they're a good thing and dont want to take the piss out of those struggling on the ladder, fair f?cks to them.
