amazon123 Â Â 17 #15 Posted February 27, 2019 At 27, having lived at home, has he got any savings towards a flat rental/purchase? Has he got a job which would allow him to rent a modest one bed flat somewhere? Or is your friend expecting the good life to be presented to him on a platter?

Was she bidding on available properties all that time?  I can't remember exactly when the system changed from simply putting your name down and waiting for an offer, to looking at what is available every week and putting in bids for suitable properties, but I know its more than 12 years ago.   There are properties available every week, but it can take years if people want specific areas.
