Had a protracted unhealthy relationship with the private rented sector myself; I'm still amazed what landlords get away with and how much the state subsidises them in generating huge profits on substandard accommodation. For the record the voluntary housing sector is always worth a look, decent accommodation at affordable rents but not enough people know about it unfortunately.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021119318151725180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11942752.post-29814135709579702492007-12-15T12:01:00.000+00:002007-12-15T12:01:00.000+00:00Well done you have done a great job for your famil...Well done you have done a great job for your family.

Mortgage-paying friends of mine keep telling me that renting is dead money.

The mortgage we paid on our 4 bedroom house in America was less than a 1/4 of the rent we paid here on our last dingy depressing poorly constructed abode! We're still renting, but like you have found a place we love and where there is space. Someday we will be home owners again... but at least for once we're happy where we are! ;-) Best of luck to you all!Deahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673929531689315157noreply@blogger.com
