You and nic bar ens should move in together.

Also, you can't buy a council house straight up. Need to be a tenant for a certain amount of time.

I don't think you can buy them with 35% discount anymore can you? There must be a time scale ie 10 years ? In which case you have wasted 10 years rent for 35% . In which you could of paid off half of a "normal" house elsewhere that isn't stuck next door to other council tenants . Or am I wrong?

You have rented for 18yr ? You could have bought it by now . I think the only plus is if you didn't have a deposit . Which you will still need now .

Does the council house/estate mean on the mainland as much as it does in NI?

Council houses tend to be in shit areas. I can't think of many council areas that are nice tbh.
