Hello, I wonder if someone could put my mind at ease, I have just been offered a home from southern housing, this will be the first time I’ve rented under housing association, we are currently private but due to terrible conditions here that landlord will not sort mice/black mould and more and with two kids one being autistic we needed to get out asap which has taken two years of waiting.
I have been shown around and we have happily accepted the house, I have filled out two parts of an online application the last part being verification checks, and I read at the bottom of the email that sent the link to the application that once received I would hear back within the day, only it has been two days now and I’ve heard nothing.
I’m now so anxious something is wrong as things seemed to be moving and quickly and now it seems like things have stopped. So one I feel a bit in limbo of if I should start packing and two I don’t know if this is normal.
I was so excited and heard so many people say once they viewed and said yes they signed paperwork there and then and got th Keys in hand. So I’m really worried until I have the keys.
All signs were good the man showing me around even said we should be in by Christmas just a few minor repairs to do, and when I contacted the lady that sent me the offer email about rent and repairs she replied back and was helpful but I’m still not sure if this all means we definitely have the house or not, I’m just so filled with anxiety as we have been living a nightmare in this current house and I was so happy to start picturing our fresh start that it’s making me feel sick that it may not happen. Can anyone relate and put my mind at rest? Thanks.
