We will not merely house ne'er do wells and state subsidy scroungers. We are a progressive landlord and a modern one and our houses will not be the housing of last choice, blah, blah, blah....therefore promoting their shared ownership and other similar products.<br /><br />Joe Halewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125767835896876295noreply@blogger.com
