Anyone has a right to ask a question but why so much interest in social housing is my point?? Who cares?? Take individuals at face value for who they are and not what car they drive or how many en-suite's they've got. I have to be honest, I detest living here and can't wait to move back to normality, not in isolation around fake people living in sardine cans! - And assumably looking at the increasing number of already occupied houses going on the market on here, that other people must feel the same. |

If I had the choice I'd rather there be no social housing than some. Slightly pissed off theres 8 on my road and not 4 like I was told. I don't care what car people drive or what they look like. Everyone I know who has moved onto a new estate (including Waverley - Barratts) have had or having issues with social housing. |

I wold say that you need to be a little careful not to tar everyone with the same brush ;-) If you search around on this forum you will find evidence of inconsiderate arse holes that paid £300k + for there house. I'm not saying that everyone in social housing is a perfect neighbour but I will say from our experience most seem to be pleasant and polite, with the odd minority that spoils it everyone else ;-) Same with most things in life ;-) So just buy your house, move in and enjoy it and deal with any potential neighbouring issues if and when they arise ;-) you never know you might not have any issues. |

I had no idea what social house was a few months ago. I can only go off what I've heard. I've got a few friends that live on new estates across 4 different locations and all have had some issues with these houses. That was my only reason for concern. However, you are quite right it is also it seems to always be the minority that ruins it for most. |

If I had the choice I'd rather there be no social housing than some. Slightly pissed off theres 8 on my road and not 4 like I was told. I don't care what car people drive or what they look like. Everyone I know who has moved onto a new estate (including Waverley - Barratts) have had or having issues with social housing. I find this pretty astonishing. The two people I know on here who live in affordable housing could buy my house three times over but can't get a mortgage as they are contractors. I come from a council estate; should I be tarred with this broad brush? I have heard of no more issues with 'social housing' than any other house or family on this estate. What should people who can't afford or obtain a £300k house do about finding a home? Social and affordable housing is one of the things I'm most proud of about where I live; it's inclusive and forward thinking |

If I'd heard all positive things or nothing at all it would be of zero concern to me. The only reason I have concern is because everything I have heard so far has been negative, in some cases very negative.
Could you please explain to me what social housing is and how it works and who qualifies etc?

Not sure how it works but think the basic precept is that house builders have to make a portion of their houses affordable and GOV.UK provides a helpful definition of the different types of housing.
We are about to reach our four year anniversary on the estate and I can honestly say that, unless I am completely unaware of what is happening around me, there are no problematic trends on here that relate to portions or sectors of the housing. There have been a few bits and pieces where a party or a dog has annoyed the neighbours but that is not liked to a house type/part of the estate as far as I can tell.
This is a nice place to live with decent people, if those I have met and speak to are anything to go by.

As I said before it was only a concern due to the things I've heard, not from *my* actual experiences. What you've said is positive and good to hear. You've actually put me more at ease, thanks. We are very much looking forward to moving on there. |

glad to hear it; Waverley is a lovely place to live. My complaints relate to the lack of greenspace, the lack of a proper play area and some woeful planning on the part of those who designed the lay out but not the people. Most folk on here are lovely and we have made some nice friends.
