    Hi.

    I have discovered that my next door neighbor, whom we have had numerous, serious problems with, (see my thread in personal issues) is living in the house her daughter got via the affordable housing scheme, where as the daughter lives permanently in the original family home. (mum and daughter seem to have done a house swap)
    Normally this type of thing wouldn't bother me, but the fact this neighbor is so much trouble, I'm wondering if their is anyone I should notify, and if so what the outcome would be?

    Thanks

    Ring the Council if you think there's something fraudulent going on. No way of knowing what the outcome is, you don't have full knowledge of their personal situation or what they've in place with the Council. Bear in mind that, if you have a long history of trouble with them, they will assume it was you who reported them, and could make life more unpleasant for you.

    Is their a way of finding out if the house was purchased via ah before I involve the council?
    Thanks

    Well, you state in the OP that she did get it via AH. Did they tell you that themselves or what are you basing that on?

    If they haven't told you that and you're just assuming it, I can't see the Council telling you. On the other hand, if you ring them to report this and it hasn't been bought through AH I imagine they would tell you that.

    Sorry, should have mentioned I.was told by a neighbor.

    If you look at personal issues, you will see the exact sort of woman I'm living beside!

    Thanks

    I remember reading somewhere that the only time someone has been brought to court for not living in an ah property, the owner was ordered to move back in or sell and the clawback period was increased by the number of years they hadn't lived in the propery. Tried to find a link to the story but couldn't!

    So it would prob mean that the daughter would be back living beside you!
