    thanks for your replies, not downsizing, no. From a 2 bedroom to another 2 bedroom.

    to be honest, it must be one of the new houses as those were all she mentioned and there are very few counci properties in the area i want to move to.
    im hopeful

  • Assuming they all go well, she has at least 26 visits to do before she starts looking at who to deny... That's a lot of visits.

    I guess you will just have to wait and see.

    At least you have a secure, cheap (in comparison with private renting) home.

    I live in HA flat and the rent (including all the service charges) is higher than a lot of private rents in Southampton. I could actually get a bigger flat for the same money but at 63yrs old I like the security of tenure. Basically just saying that social housing is not always cheap in comparison with private renting.
    It's someone else's fault.

    they're still saying they can't guarantee anything but im assuming this is good news>? is an offer likely

  • That seems to be what they are intending. But wait until the inks dry!

  • Well, the intention may well be there.... But life can be unpredictable sometimes.

    My friend was low on the housing list but they built some new houses and priority was given to local people. She was moved to the top of the list as she was born in the village and has a super new 4 bed house
