We joined the register based on high medical needs. We have been number 3 for the last 3 properties but no luck, or atleast I haven't heard back yet
They only come up every 2 weeks or so.

Just wondering what queue position you were when you were offered your house, and how long after the advert closed did you hear about it?

When were living in a 1 bed flat with2 kids the first time I ever bid we were actually offered it Shock. I think the fact it was Christmas week might have factored in, obviously we were skint just after Christmas and had to borrow money for a moving van.

When we were offered a flat there was no bidding, I just had about 21 missed calls from my ex because I was at work lol.

Oh wow! I can imagine your ex couldn't wait to get hold of you to let you know, i'd be the same. Thanks for replying 😀

I wish the council would just say whether it's the same 2 people bidding on the property so we have a better idea of where we are but I suppose it makes no difference knowing and we just need to wait
