If I have signed a tenancy agreement do I have a period to change my mind in the UK?
I have just signed a tenancy agreement with the local housing association. It is a preliminary Assured Shorthold Tenancy for 12 months leading to an Assured Tenancy after that period. The whole process has been rushed. I was given a very brief amount of time yesterday to view the property and was put on the spot to make a decision as to whether I wanted to accept the property or not. I chose to and was handed a tenancy agreement there and then to sign which I did. I have just picked the keys up today and spent a little bit of time measuring the rooms. The problem is it is utterly unsuitable for my family. The rooms are tiny and none of my furniture is going to fit. There is also no gas supply in the kitchen for my gas cooker. I don't want to live there. The house is horrible and so is the area it's in.
Do I have any legal right to cancel the tenancy agreement?
Please note that I am in the UK.
Thanks

Sorry, if you are in England/Wales you have entered a contract to rent the place for 12 months.
HOWEVER. As this is a housing association, who usually have huge lists of people waiting for properties, they may be willing to cancel the contact so someone else can have it - but I suspect you'd go to the back of the queue again.

you've completely did not understand the definition of the time period "tenancy settlement". it truly is a binding dedication and in case you want to pull out you may anticipate consequences and your tenants might want to even sue you for his or her consequential losses and for damages. depending upon the settlement they could have prepared removals, day without work paintings, postal redirections and all the different issues linked with a replace of handle. in the experience that they imagine you're pulling out for discriminatory motives then the sticky stinky brown stuff will particularly hit the fan. you may genuinely ask them to allow you to renege on your dedication in go back for a reasonable repayment furnish, yet regardless of in the experience that they decline to attain this it really is going to smash your agency attractiveness.
