bassett one   449 #3 Posted February 24, 2019 if hes got his name down on the council list ,the longer the better,he can choose most areas,if not i suggest he puts his name down asap,then asks what waiting time is for the areas he wishs to move to,there is help if disabled,he has kids but separated or over 60,just call in and ask,good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mandem   13 #4 Posted February 25, 2019 My daughter was on the council list for 15 years before she got offered a one bedroomed flat So good luck with that I think if you want a council property it best to put your name down when you are young and at least you are racking up the years.

geared   303 #8 Posted February 25, 2019 Yea the council are well wise to the old "my parents kicked me out" routine, they don't have tons of properties just sat waiting for the next sob story to come calling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
leviathan13   348 #9 Posted February 25, 2019 Complete the online application form at www.sheffieldpropertyshop.org.uk  Submit ID  Once the application is processed, bid for properties  Different areas have different waiting times due to being more/less desirable  If the person 'needs' a property, speak to local housing office or Housing Solutions at Howden House if homeless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

geared   303 #11 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Go to the council and ask for emergency accommodation, but be aware this also includes a homeless hostel or similar, don't be expecting the Ritz.  https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/home/housing/housing-advice-options-line.html Edited February 26, 2019 by geared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
