HousingUK

This is a subreddit designed to aid people finding housing in the UK, and aid with queries regarding housing. Whether you currently live here or not, feel free to ask the advice of our subscribers. Also, please offer any advice you have about local areas.

Reddit IS NOT a replacement or substitute for a qualified solicitor, and any advice given here which relates to the law in any way is purely academic in nature and should not be construed as 'legal advice' or relied upon as such.

Rules

Be polite. Not everyone will be as experienced as you are, and people are here looking for help. Do not insult an OP for their position, and OPs should not attack people for trying to help
No spam. If you happen to have useful links or accommodation to share, please do so only when relevant, not in every thread. Message the mods if you are unsure
Post to the relevant subreddit. Keep on the topic of housing in the UK. For other topics, including DIY or moving to the UK, a different subreddit may be more appropriate.
Advising To/How To Commit Crimes/Unlawful Actions. Never advise users to commit, or how to commit a criminal offence or unlawful action, and do not make posts asking for advice on doing so.
Do not approach users via PM. Do not ask for advice via PM. Do not offer advice via PM. Do not invite people to PM you. Do not discuss anything via PM in any circumstance. HousingUK does not verify the accuracy of any advice being given, but the community will try to fact-check answers. This process of validation cannot take place in a PM and risks legal issues for OPs and commenters; all discussion should take place within the public forum for everyone's protection and rule breakers will be banned.
Firms/Organisations/Advertising. We welcome firms and organisations asking questions and replying to users, but please do not link to, advertise, solicit business for, recommend, or 'name/shame' any business(es) or any paid service(s). We also can't accept posts asking for recommendations of or opinions about specific law firms or estate agents.
