What Is An Accessible Home?
New Blog Series! Since I started house hunting, I’ve been unable to find an accessible home suitable for my needs. These homes often come with inaccessible features. Even with newer builds, they still come with step access to the property and lack features to allow disabled people to move easily around the property. This post […]
Inaccessible Viewings When I booked viewings recently, I’ve not been able to view the property myself. This is because there was no access to the property with, tight corridors and inaccessible features. However, what I’ve learnt from my second house-hunting update is, home pictures don’t always give you an accurate view of the property. Today’s […]
