I currently live in a council house that is overcrowded by one bedroom. We have a utility room directly off of the kitchen that would be large enough to fit a bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers and have thought about using it as a bedroom. It has a small window and its own front door (so has a fire escape). However, if we did proceed with this would this then impact our suitability for a bigger property/would we no longer be classed as overcrowded?
There are medical needs why we need an extra bedroom.
Thank you
