I’m feeling rather disappointed…had a council house viewing today was so excited about getting the keys and starting to do the place up however on arrival I could hear the sound of heavy water (sounded like someone was in the shower) and the front door had water leaking out of it which had frozen over due to it being so cold I peeped through the living room window and could see a tiny bit of water on the floor so I realised there was a leak somewhere in the house, must be a very big one, it then dawned on me I wouldn’t be able to get the keys and accept it as the leak will need to be sorted…a housing officer soon came and tried to open the door but was unable to due to it being frozen over she said I was unable to accept the property today due to the leak and that it’ll take a few weeks to sort out she also said I can go back on the property list and bid for other properties without being penalised for turning this property down (as the leaks not my fault). I’m not sure what to do should I go back on the list and start bidding again? I’m top priority so I can get pretty much anything I bid on it’s just waiting for the right property in the right area to come out…took me months to find this property so can’t imagine how long it’ll take me to find something else I never know I may find something even better but I don’t want to wait. I can accept the property and wait a few weeks for the leak to be sorted but having a leak isn’t a good sign I know any house can get leaks but do I really want to accept a property which was leaking bad enough for it to come out the front door and be all over the floors all the houses I previously lived in never had leaks and I’d hate to accept this house and then another leak happens it’s not really a good sign. I don’t know what to do need some advice.
