Oh dear I so hate letting myself get dragged into this!! :o As part of the stock transfer agreement, rents have to be kept at a certain level and can only rise by inflation and maybe 1 or 2% per year for quite a few years after!! And also as a registered social landlord Hyndburn Homes will be closely monitored by the Housing Corporation and the rules are pretty strict.

As for improvements to properties, if the sitting tenant does not want improvements doing they can not be forced, we have had many people turn down new kitchens, double glazing etc.. and if we are concerned about the standard of any property we have to go to environmental health and they have to apply for a court order before they can take any further action... we cannot just enter a property because we feel work needs to be done!

I live in a hyndburn homes flat, all the tenants got a news letter last week telling them about the refurbishments, we are not even on the list
(now isunt that a surprise) i rang there office only to be told it was aspecial case:Banane10: when asked if that ment demolition the person i spoke to said she could not say any more :mad:

i dont think this damp accumelated over 7 months more like 15 years. plaster was falling off the walls in the loft. a friends house was left empty for 10 years and it was in way better condition than this.i know this man had applied for modernisation grant his neighbours told me. the council did eventually double glaze his home and he seemed really proud of the work. i dont think he was scared of builders upheaval and i suspect he had good genes which carried him to that age

Re: shameless hyndburn homes
 

the lady ah H homes was showing off about how they expected to acheive over 105,000 ( thats expenive for that areaand that there had been a lot of interest. the property was showing sighns of subsidence no wonder they want a quik sale. another person viewing the house also knew the old man and was very upset with hyndburn homes. they could have made at least 1 room nice an clean and comfy for him. this poor man was always cleaning roubbish from the streets so i suspect he must hav been houseproud

Re: shameless hyndburn homes
 

Every mortgage company will insist on a survey, which would show any subsidence, and that again will be reflected in the price.

Do you have a link to where this property is for sale with Hyndburn Homes, so we can see the state of the property?

Re: shameless hyndburn homes
 

As for the price the house sells for, that is down to market forces, and what people are prepared to buy it for, and not down to Hyndburn Homes.

It would be really interesting to see the details of this property, but I can't find any. Any links would be much appreciated.

Thank's for correcting me, 'L' I have obviously been misinformed and this is how I thought the system worked, apologies to anyone concerned.

Re: shameless hyndburn homes
 

Why would that have helped? The houses were controlled by employed Council Officers not elected Councillors.

lister or hartmann its opposite colledge court

Re: shameless hyndburn homes
 

The houses are no longer under the control of an accountable body Neil, and they also have, or should have control of the Council Officers, but I do concede the point that their control is very limited.;)
