One of the most important decisions you will have to make is your choice of housing and it is therefore important to fully understand the options that are available to you.
These include:
Full details of all the options and advice on what may be the best for you can be found at shelter.org. Alternatively similar information is available at the Citizens Advice website.
A guide, "Owning your own home: a global look at home ownership and renting", is available from comparethemarket.com.
An explanation of your legal obligations and rights when renting, buying or owning a home, plus information about Council Tax, what to do if you are homeless or help if you have a housing dispute can be found at the GOV.UK website.
A series of downloads, booklets and tools to help you work out your rights and understand your options can be found here.
