I will be moving out soon and hope never to need their housing ever again.

When I move to private rented shortly, I will be paying £41 a week more, but when I look at what I will gain for that I wish I had done it years ago. Looking back, I used to spend that per week on bingo !

The 'extras' that I don't have now -
Solid plastered walls - not unplastered hardboard on studding
Hardwood fire doors throughout - not hardboard
Built less than 10 years ago to higher building insulation standards
Larger living spaces
An extra bedroom
TWO bathrooms, one is en-suite
A secure door entry access system
A security alarm system
A stairwell that is carpeted (less noise)
A luxurious large fitted kitchen with appliances
Windows that close properly (no broken handles)
Plenty of electricity sockets and 'no surface mounted' switches
Good floorcoverings and decoration throughout
No surface mounted pipework.
No bulges in ceilings.
A balcony - WOW ! (even though it is ground floor)

PS I will no longer need a tow rope (parked next to the only window which would open wide enough for emergency exit).
Are you about to be a "bottom ender" or is this not in Clayton?
