I’m currently living in a 2 bedroom house with housing association in not the best of areas in a overcrowded situation with one toilet in the bathroom so nightmare with everyone wanting to use toilet especially when your in the bath. Theres me my husband and my three children ages 4 9 16 I had to give my eldest daughter my bedroom so I have been sleeping in my front room for 4 years not ideal but had to put her first! I recently bidded on a really nice three bedroom flat affordable housing with housing association in kidbrooke village really nice new development lots to do there with the kids lots of parks which I haven’t got where I’m currently living and it’s lovely flat with my own room finally and two toilets and large balcony. But can’t help but think maybe should have waited an extra year or two to bid on a house but the wait was becoming unbearable waiting now for 6 years cramped and the area is much better! Would you have waited an extra couple of years for house or took the flat in nice better area???

Flat sounds great!

Definitely the flat

Take the flat, definitely. Inside space is more important than outside space

Take the flat.

Take the flat, it sounds great. Gardens aren't the most important thing, and it sounds like the flat would massively improve all of your quality of life. Waiting up to two years for a house is a long time, when you and your kids could be in better housing almost immediately.
