If it's any help Dale, I work for a large Housing association in Blackburn that went through a stock transfer (like Hyndburn have just done) 5 years ago and in those five years we have spent millions on doing the houses up, to the extent that anyone who now approaches us about getting a home we have to quote that it will take a minimum of 18 months to be offered a property as the demand is now so high.
The other plus is that the more decent people who have moved into previously problem areas seem to have a hand in turning areas around. So lets hope thats the case when you move in eh!!!
Errr you are decent aren't you??
Good luck on the move
