The right advice is to keep bidding, most places have a guide as to how long you must have been on the waiting list to be considered. I got a 2-bed flat in the City centre in June, but it took 6 years of waiting before i finally got a reply.

 

Worst thing you can do is stop trying.

I got a Guinness flat. I obviously don't qualify for a house as I am single. But I have been impressed with the quality of the flat. Anyone who has visited my flat has been impressed with it saying I got a decent place. My neighbours are ok they only issue is they like to smoke weed outside so it doesn't give a good impression to visitors to my flat. Especially to my parents when they come around. Otherwise I get along with them.

 

I got the flat by applying to Guinness direct. As I saw an advert on one of their properties advertising properties to let. I was surprised about that as I was under the impression that there was a shortage of social housing. Anyway a couple months after applying I got a letter offering me a flat.

So your neighbours are committing a criminal offence on a daily basis?

it appears so however i suspect its their visitors that are smoking it. As I said earlier I get along with them fine. They are polite to me.

I could report them to the HA however I decided its just not worth the hassle. Im happly settled into my flat.

Is it me or do some Sheffield residents thinks its their god given right to be given a council property?

Its their first thought when they are old enough to be put on the register at 16.

Its as though they are resigned to the fact that they will never be in a position to rent privately or buy their own property. What a sad attitude!
