asparagus

Where I live - am about to meet a housing liason officer next week and hope that they will explain in more detail about the work that needs doing to my home - as well as everyone in the street etc.

I am wondering i this is going to be a long procedure in that damp work partial rewire etc, am I able to ask them to find me somewhere to stay whilst this is taking place? I have a cat to add to complications. But if it going to be longer than a week of upside down coming and going. It just be easier possibly to be elsewhere whilst taking place. Am I asking too much by asking?

  • Hi asparagus. If you live in Social Housing, I can advise you. If you have a letter detailing the work, I can tell you what that means too. I would need you to be more detailed if possible.

    This type of project can be seriously disruptive, and it's likely that you would be disturbed beyond endurance.

    In any case, if you have a social worker then they should be putting your case forward. The disruption to your home and life need to be properly assessed, but having seen this process many times, my best recommendation is that you should be eslwehere for the duration.

    A Social Housing provider will have alternatives that they won't want to use, but they should be sympathetic to your case. The Housing Liaison Officer's job is to find out this kind of information from you so that it can be included in the project planning, to tell you about the work that they plan to do to your home, and to be there to help you if you need anything.

    Has your home been surveyed yet?
