Bedroom Eligibility
|
The maximum number of bedrooms which applicants are eligible to bid for is determined by the size of their household; but as there is a shortage of large homes, applicants may be advised to bid for smaller accommodation than they would prefer. Where a property has two living rooms and one can reasonably be used as a bedroom, it will be labelled on that basis. The bedroom size that members can bid for or is allocated is set out below |
