I'm trying to organise our next move... Me and my partner live in a second floor flat which we rent in Scotland and very soon the stairs will be impossible for him.
We have applied to be put on various housing association lists, but apparently with Covid they're not taking any applications right now and also with some there's a 3 step verification required. I've been in touch with MND Scotland and a lovely advocate lady there is trying to call round as many housing associations as possible also to get us on the various lists, but similarly is getting the same response, so no movement at all right now.
Being open minded and keeping our search quite broad for renting, but it's overwhelming to know where to begin and how long this is going to take to source a ground floor flat or bungalow that has wet room etc. Just recently I've had thoughts about if we should think about buying... and fitting the necessities (although would need to be fairly low budget unless a lottery win comes our way). Got to be proactive here as I know recently everything takes longer than usual.
What are everyone's thoughts and experiences? Did people go on housing association lists? Did anyone find buying much easier and quicker? What other options or routes are there?
