Hi me and my gf who is a wheelchair user are looking to move out of our parents house.

I'm looking for a place that is wheelchair accessible, an easy shower and spacious.

We both live in London, I earn 2k a month and around 15k saved. 

We are struggling with being at home and are hoping to move out. 

I don't know how to start and where to look. 

I was hoping to get some advice on what to do.

    Hello @zaddy123

    Have you tried looking online? Rightmove and Zoopla are a great place to start. I'd also encourage you to speak to an estate agent as they'll have more common knowledge of accessible properties and accessible areas :)

    I just had a Google out of interest, to see if there were accessible property agents. I found this... https://accessible-property.org
    I put in London/rent & it came up with 5 pages worth. Of course, you know what areas you'll want, I just did a general search. You can put in to buy too, may be interesting for you to have a play.

    I will add, I'm not connected to the site in any way.
