People say I have the ‘nicest council house they've seen' & it's infuriated trolls who say ‘that's where our taxes go'
Read on for how to get a council house HOUSE THIS People say I have the 'nicest council house they've seen' & it's infuriated trolls who say 'that's where our taxes go' A WOMAN who showed off her new council house has been trolled as people claim they're paying for it. Robyn, a mum-of-one from the UK, was thrilled to get a house she could call home after being in temporary accommodation for four months. 2 Robyn had finally got her dream council house Credit: 2 But not everyone was pleased for the mum Credit: Advertisement The mum shared her new council house in a recent TikTok video and it left people stunned. The new house had two large bedrooms, a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, plenty of storage space and a front room leading to a massive garden. And despite most council houses being outdated, hers was brand new as it was in a newbuild complex. Robyn wrote: "After four long months of being in temporary accommodation, me and my one-year-old have been offered my dream home." Advertisement The swanky council house featured grey walls, silver hardware and marble tiles. Of course, Robyn was feeling lucky and excited for the next chapter of her life in the new home. In the comments, she revealed she had to bid for it like with most council homes and was fortunately accepted. However, it seemed that not everyone was happy with the mum's new home. Advertisement Some cruel trolls took to the comments of the video which went viral on her TikTok account @robynl2000 with over 943k views. Some were claiming it was their taxes that were funding the house, with some stating it was better than theirs. I'm trolled for 'wasting my money' by making my council house nice - but I plan to stay here for years so I won't stop One person wrote: "Are you going to thank me for working hard paying taxes to pay for your home? You're welcome." Another commented: "Nice! I have to go to work." "That's a council house? That's mental. Mine had no skirting boards and kitchen cupboards hanging off when I got mine," penned a third. Advertisement Meanwhile a fourth said: "Damn these council houses are better than the ones I can afford to buy working 63hours a week. Minimum." How can I get a council house? To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority. To find your local authority, simply use the Government's council locator tool on its website. Once you have access to your local council's website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application. After applying, you'll most likely have to join a waiting list. Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn't guarantee you a council house offer. Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage. You are eligible to apply for council housing if you are a British citizen living in the UK providing have not lived abroad recently. Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on "points" or a "banding" system. For example, you're likely to be offered housing first if you: are homeless live in cramped conditions have a medical condition made worse by your current home are seeking to escape domestic violence Once you are high enough on a council's waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available. Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds. EU workers and their families and refugees may also be eligible. A council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority. The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list. There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list. "Wait what? That's the nicest council house I've seen,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: "This is a council house ?! That's actually insane it's absolutely beautiful, it's honestly about time they took care of their properties as some are in terrible condition and they expect families to live in them with mould."
