Issues With Stafford & Rural Homes

For less than 100K, you'd probably only need to earn 25 - 30K a year as a single person to get a mortgage. You don't get free double glazing, central heating or a new roof when you own though :)

I would quite like to know where these 'less than 100k' houses are?

Here ya go, there are 98 properties at 100k or below within 5 miles of ST16, incl 3 bedroom properties, a 2 bed on West Way for 89K and a three bed apt for 77K. Like I said, property in Stafford is cheap and well within the grasp of even a single person earning around average wage which is 26.5K, and most certainly within reach of a couple, even ones on a lower wage if they combine incomes:

I don't earn that much, yes, I own my house, but I got it with a good pay off from my divorce, and the insurance broker at DB Roberts jiggled the figures a bit for my mortgage. None of my kids earn that much either. We aren't all rockerfella.

This thread started off as a thread about SRH performance and is seems to have turned into the poor could help themselves if they tried.

Getting a better job is not always possible even when you have two degrees and a wealth of experience.

SRH are infuriating because thy love themselves so much.

Failure may not be an option at SRH but if ‘having a positive attitude and trying one’s best’ were the motto maybe their staff would at least strive to get better and talk to their tenants with respect.

The statistics say they are a good company who deliver a good service, perhaps they should have complaints event in the market square and advertise the event so that everyone knows it on and then see what people say and the usual suspects that trail around after them saying there are wonderful should be banned from the event.

Statistics depend on a few things:

How you phrase the question
How you record the data
How you interrogate that data afterwards
How you display your findings

For a good example see the recent Staffs uni survey on moving the entire campus to Stoke.
And who you ask the question to...

Very true, you only want the right sort of people answering the right sort of questions. Anything else is ridiculous!

An example of this was when they installed speed jumps through Doxey. Hence some people who lived where they might support the humps had survey forms delivered but everyone else had to go out of their way to object.

All the best

Guess which campus has the highest subscribed courses...

Is a nee operation one that you had before you married?
If his claims are to be believed, then it would surely be a ne operation.

Whoops. Except that it was his mother's knee, and so you are right, it would be a nee operation.
