    It has no relevance. You are need of housing now, you don't have a house that you own, and your accomodation now is not suitable for your needs (assumed)

    Who is asking you to swear an affidavit?

    It is relevant.

    The council will be asking. A person who has owned a house before may not be eligible for housing now. Probably the separation will be enough to get over this, it depends on the council's policy.

    OP ask other local solicitors if anyone knows what happened to your previous solicitors records. If they really cannot be found then a local silicitor can also help with an affidavit.

    If you are applying for a council house expect a long wait. Depending where you live it could be years or even decades.
