Answer 1

In your question you never said where you are from, but from the wording, I assume that you are in the UK, and I am in the US, so am not familiar with the renting of council houses.

However I am in the same situation as you are, living 650 miles from my son, and wanting to move close to him and his family.

Living that far away we could not shop for a house ourselves, so we ran an add, and had several calls, one house seemed to fit our needs, 3 blocks from where our son was buying his new house, we ask our son to go and check it out, the man in charge of renting the house, met my son and his family, the man like my sons family and fell in love with our 2 years old granddaughter and rented to us with out ever meeting us.

My suggestion is to explain why you need to move into this house that you want, give them all of the reasons why, and if possible let them meet your son, I pray that you have as go a luck as we did.

Answer 2

just clean it up a bit a carpet might help in the bathroom ya know a bit of spit and polish you could paint it up aswel soft housey colours not too vibrant and definitely no primary colours ,colours that will make the rooms look bigger it will also rack up the price, get nice bedspreads and photo frames for the walls.Get some flower pots for outside the house nice colorful flowers .

A little money spending to make the house look nice will pay off in the selling its all worth it!
