friend of mine told me that he and his girlfriend can get a council house and buy it at the same time (get a mortgage) even though he is unemployd and she is working part time in a hotel , they have 1 child , i never heard that anybody on the dole can get any sort of mortgage even from county council ... or is he jus a bull....s....er ??

I presume he is talking about the affordable housing scheme.

Well maybe its his partner that is getting the mortgage. If she is earning 25K she can apply.
Although I don't know how she could earn 25k working part-time in a hotel.

Yeah sounds like he is full of it. They could only get a mortgage from the council if one is full time employed for two years and the other for a year they have to have a combined income of at least 35k too and no social welfare an be used for this figure

for what i know she is earning not even 15 k a year anyway it looks like he is full of lies , he is on a list for a council house and he tells everybody that he is going to get a mortgage of the council and buy it off them , being on the dole and broke ....

It's a minimum of 25k you can earn to be eligible for affordable housing. She wouldn't qualify for this
