"So basically we get no help," she said. "How does that affect our mortgages? We can't go and rent somewhere, we've already got a mortgage."
Ms Winstanley urged the council to "step up and admit that they made a big mistake" by selling properties with RAAC."But these houses were originally owned by the council - they surely owe that to the people who have bought their properties?"He said his insurance told him they would not cover issues involving RAAC.
"But we don't know if we will have to move out, so we'll just have to wait and see. It's quite a shock." Council officers are currently exploring options for the long-term viability for the site, which include remedial works or demolition.The Scottish government said Housing Minister Paul McLennan said they and the Scottish Housing Regulator will keep in contact with the council to ensure all of those affected receive the appropriate support.
