Housing Investigation - Evidence

 

Mathy at home

 

There aren't enough options to search for accessible houses/flats on property websites, even in the ‘advanced search' sections - for example, there is no option to look for 'accessible bathrooms', which means I have to search through each property individually (in a list of up to hundreds!), looking at pictures (which again, aren't always helpful) or vague descriptions, and make a judgement as to whether that property is even worth considering

Also, I'm not confident at all if I moved that I would get any personal care support, as I would still probably have services across the two local authorities, and the communication between the two is shocking.
