I wonder if anyone could advise me on this issue please?
I have been paying into an IPA for the past 2 years and have 1 year remaing. During that time I have been living in a really rough area mainly because it is fairly cheap, but I have now had enough and need to move to a nicer area as I am becoming more depressed living in this area and even scared to go out, especially after dark because of the gangs and drunks in the streets. If I found a place which was more than the rent I am currenly paying, do you think it would be declined. I am currently paying £265 per month rent but this could increase to £350 for a nicer property in a nicer area. Can anyone help please?
When you say would it be declined do you mean that the OR wouldn't allow it? If so I don't think you'll have a problem, and £350 per month sounds very reasonable to me!
The fact the rent is so low is I share with my partner, although if that changes obviously the rent will be much higher. Would you think it best if I informed the OR once I have moved or tell them I am planning to move in advance? Obviously I don't know how much the rent will be until I find a place, but we are looking for something around £700 per month (ie. £350 each).
Can I move to an area where I won't be scarednto go out ?
