I've been on the housing list for four years now but I've only been looking for a house for the past 7 months. Me and my partner are desperately trying to look for a 2 bedroom house in town to raise our 4 year old son but unfortunately its impossible as we cant spend more than £700 on a property. My son starts school after the summer and I work part time in lerwick. Its become increasingly difficult to look for a house these days. Me and my son are living with my family at the moment but unfortunately the house is quite overcrowded and there's not much room for us. I've even spoken to hjaltland but unfortunately all they said was "the highest points gets the property" which means I'm unlikely to get a house since I have barely any points. Just want somewhere where I can raise my little boy and finally be happy! The housing system is quite unfair and private rented houses are just too expensive at the moment
