    Hi,

    I have recently applied for social housing. I am due to have an interview next week with the council to discuss this.

    I was born in England to Irish parents and we returned to Ireland when I was one years old. I am now in my thirties.

    I have given them the form from revenue to say I don't own property here. They also want proof that I don't own property in England.

    Is it the Irish Embassy in the UK that I need to contact? I'm not sure how to get this evidence.

    Thanks.

    You'll need to obtain a letter from the UK property registration office (or offices if you also lived in Scotland/NI) confirming that your name doesn't appear on the property register. There is a fee to be paid but I don't know how much it is.
