Some applicants may not be able to bid every week as we need to ensure that all priority groups have an opportunity to bid successfully. For example; Applicants will not be able to bid if the quota for their re-housing list has been met. Applicants registered on smaller quotas will therefore face a longer wait than others requiring the same bedroom size from another priority group. If applicants are waiting for a larger family sized home they are likely to be waiting a lot longer than applicants who require a smaller sized property. This is because we have less family sized accommodation for the number of people waiting for this type of property. It is therefore important that applicants think carefully about what properties to bid for and whether to accept a property or not as their list may not be to bid the following week or for the remainder of the financial year.
