We live in a one bed HA flat. I am 18w pregnant.
We have found someone that wants to downsize, he is known to us anyway.
We went to view the property quickly in December, decided we owuld go for the swap.
The other party have the property inspection this Friday, my DP went there today and found that there are light fittings broken, plug sockets off of the wall, no windows in the main bedroom open - which is obviously a fire risk and we know the house won't be passed off in this state. They aren't clean people and everything needs removing and starting again and bleached all over.
But...it seems that we are expected to complete these repairs. We will as it is only things that won't cost a lot and DP will do them, we can't chance anything getting in the way if we can possible help it. We cannot afford to private rent (before anyone gets in with that one!) and have been looikng for a swap for two years. The other party will be moving into our flat that needs nothing doing to it at all. It just pisses me off.
I think we are just going to have to bite our tongues and do it...grrr
