The Types of Property You Can Bid For

Applicants are eligible to bid for the following property sizes:

 1.     2 bedroom properties, usually flats, will be made available to single people and couples depending upon the prevailing policy of the district scheme, which will reflect demand for two bedroom flats, houses and bungalows from families across the sub-region. In the Vale, such properties may be available to people with child access.

  2.   Dependent on size and makeup of the family. Preference usually given for larger families.

  3.   A parlour house has a separate dining room that could be converted for use as a bedroom.

  4.   Applicants in Band 1 categories for Under-occupation, Succession and Decants may be permitted to bid for properties larger than they are entitled to in the above table, provided they will be moving to a smaller property than the one they currently occupy.

  5.  Where a woman is pregnant, the baby can be counted for the purpose of the bedroom eligibility table, at three months pregnancy with documentary evidence.

  6.   In some cases, an applicant may be skipped for a particular property type. For example, where someone has been awarded medical priorty due to the fact they cannot manage stairs they will not be offered a house.
