I’m really sad about my home. I have been in my flat nearly 4 years and there has been rumours circulating for a while now.
Received the phone call this morning that they are demolishing the building.
The good news is they will work with me to find somewhere new, I’m just dreading the process and the moving.

Sorry to hear that @MarkN88, but hopefully you'll find be able to find somewhere suitable. Is there anything in particular you're worried about in terms of moving? I know it can be a stressful experience on the whole.

@MarkN88 sorry to hear about your home I know its hard and it is very stressful , if you can look past that you might find a better place where your happier and you are getting help to find another home once you settle in hopefuly you feel OK.
I was in a similar situation where I live now I used to live four doors away and my landlord had all his property's repossessed he didn't inform me and I was given 4 weeks to move lucky for myself the landlord I am with now was fantastic
The day I got the letter my now landlord had heard the news and came to see me he had just finished renovating the house I am in now
He gave me the keys and said the house was mine if I wanted it and I moved it straight away
I love the house I am in now and i am realy happy I have been in it three years and I have a fantastic and catering landlord
Hope you get the same happiness ? -
Thanks everyone.I think the worry is the stress, @Tori_Scope , I think once it’s done it will be fine.

That's a shame. Is there any reason they're being demolished? Will they be building more on that site I wonder?
-
Sorry about your home and agree how stressful moving can be . Just take it one step at a time and if you need help ask for it
When I moved I got lots help from council they supplied removal company who dismantled stuff and set back up like bed wardrobes etc
You can get moving companies that do the packing for you as well
Make list of all places you need to inform change of address, as I got letters b4 I moved I added them to my list
You can do lots yo prepare so it makes the move less stressful -

Will they be building more on that site I wonder?Over the years there’s been no investment, new bathrooms that were promised were cancelled and they stopped letting the flats to people.It’s a three story, 30 flat building, quite large really, only 10 are occupied.Think it’s been on the cards for a while.

That's a nice amount of compensation! Can treat yourself to some new furniture etc for the new place.
Not to be negative, but I was just wondering if that would be classed as savings for ESA or if there's a grace period in which to spend it?
