Moving house

[Gazman]

I am carer with income support but ending soon (Health reason)
then I will be signing on as Job seeker.

Now I couldn't afford to continue living in my house although
I have help with mortgage interests but still paying some
mortgage regularly. Also bills are getting more expensive.

I want to downgrade and move to a flat in another area where I
can pay less mortgage and bills. I do like high rise flat as
long there is lift.

What bothers me most is the expensive yearly maintenance
charges that residents have to pay.

Do I get help with that cost???

TIA

Hi GaZmaN

Yes - normal service charges that all occupants have to pay are
covered by weekly JSA rates (annual service charge div by 52).
This covers typical service charges for e.g. maintenance.

Service charges for *major* repairs might be different - that gets a
bit more complicated and you'd need to seek face-to-face advice about
that.

But in short - that's a "yes".

P.S. The dog got a bit dirty - sorry.

By the way, walking in the rain will clean your dog! LOL
