the logic is that I will have in the near time partner and family
why I would only be allowed to bid for 1 bed properties?

It's what you need now, not what you fantasise about for the future.

:rotfl: :rotfl: But why worry, you're looking to buy a property in Romford. Just buy a 3 bedroom one for your future *coughs* kids

so let's say I get a 1 bed flat now, after having a family, what is the procedure to move to a newer house? the same? waiting for properties and bid?

Exactly what I was about to quote. 20 mins ago he was planning to buy a house. Exploring possibilities is one thing, but spezial looks into either rent a council house or buy a house. What extremes.

Like someone in a previous post he is quite an entertainer.:rotfl:

If you earn now 16k and you are single and let's say you are given a council flat. Then after a couple of years you earn 30k, will they drop you out?

Personally I would hope that they would do the right thing and move out and find a private rental or buy their own property, leaving the council property for someone who has greater needs.

If you want a sure fact investment, you would get a council property then buy it under the Right to Buy scheme. Live in it for a while and then rent it out and buy your own property to live in.

I'm pretty sure there is nowhere in London and the Home Counties that would give a Council property to a single, non-vulnerable person.

In words of one syllable - NO:beer:

but there is no criterion to be vulnerable!
the higher bid takes it, isn't it like that?
I am not talking to live there for free
