New website gives frustrated flatmates chance to vent Home Truths » Housing » 24dash.com

Toilet seat left up, disappearing food, unwanted guests, stray hairs in the bath… These are just a few of the whinges about flatmates heard daily by long-suffering friends and acquaintances across the country.

Now, anyone who finds their housemate annoying has the perfect way of venting their fury without boring their friends with the launch of a new website – www.myhometruths.com - which helps people to air and share their flatmate frustrations.

Home Truths, from Circle Anglia – one of the UK’s largest providers of affordable housing - greets users with a virtual fridge door of post-it notes covered in a myriad of flatmate frustrations. Users then have the option of letting loose and creating their own post-it note to place firmly on the fridge door, which they can share with their friends and flatmates.

The site also offers those just a little obsessed with their venting the ability to search by keyword to find fellow venters, who share the same annoyance and realise that they are not alone in their predicament.

However, simply sharing frustrations may not be enough. So, Circle Anglia is using the microsite to raise awareness of a little known fact; there could be a way out with New Build HomeBuy.

New Build Home-Buy is a simple part-buy, part rent scheme which offers cash strapped buyers an opportunity to get on the property ladder by buying a share in a new apartment or house, whilst they pay subsidised rent on the remainder. It is often cheaper than renting, buyers get up to 100 per cent ownership and it helps people on a low income get on the housing ladder.

Tim Seward, head of sales and marketing at Circle Anglia said: “Many people who are working hard but can’t afford to buy a property simply don’t know the options available to them. Home Truths is a fun way of helping people to let off steam and discover that there could be a choice to have so much more.”
