We have been given our notice to vacate the house we have been renting the past 12 years by May 16th.Over the past few months we have been trying to secure a mortgage( took longer as my husband is only self employed since end of 2019 so needed at least two years worth of books). Anyhow today I approached the landlord with our interest to purchase the property in a straight sale so to speak( omitting a snag list and an engineers report) to be told that they were putting it on the market. Whilst we understand why they want to do this the house is in need of quite a bit of refurbishment etc.
While we were trying to get things in order I have also been looking for other properties to buy/rent in our local area(both me and my husband grew up here also and our two boys attend school here also) but there is nothing available.
My question is where can I go from here. Is there anyone I can contact to help us on our plight?
Any advice so gratefully received please as to where to go from here.
May I add that the house going on market will probably go for much more than we can afford( or what the house is worth for that matter). We have been renting here as I say since 2010 but with the RTB since 2015 but I have all the rent receipts since day one before we started paying rent through online.
Thanks again
