Wandsworth housing?

Honestly it’s useless me and my family have been on the list 9 years and we are at number 34 and we received a letter to say we were entitled to a 4 bedroom but we wouldn’t get anything as they haven’t got the availability for us x

@Katie omg are you kidding me! Have you been at number 34 for a while?

Been at number 34 for 2 years x

@Katie i really don’t understand how this queue system works, im on band b but position 247 for a 2 bed seems like ill wait for a while. I think there are more 1 beds to give out x

I’m in a 2 bedroom flat needing a 4 the council is shit x

@Katie try to stay positive I have a relative on wandsworth who just got a 3 bed after waiting 7 years x

@Jessica I’m definitely staying hopeful x

Was on the Wandsworth council list for 6+ years for a 2 bed got to number 100 by then I needed a 3 bed as I had another child so I got pushed down to number 200 then down to 50 and I randomly got a call one day followed up by an email offering me a 3 bed house with a garden, was so shocked as I thought you literally had to be at number 1 to get something. Moved in October and by next year October I’m told that the place is permanently mine for life

@RhiannaClaudia that’s brilliant! Congrats to you! How long did it take for you to get down from 200 to 50? And were you at 50 when you got the call or at position 1? It’s very confusing on whether one day they can just offer as many houses/flats as possible or it’s slow and steady

Thankyou I become very obsessed with checking my position online and would track it monthly Number 590 on the homeless list for a 2 bedroom Record numbers at the end of each month March 2019 number 587 September 2020 number 424 December 2020 number 404 August 2021 number 323 October 2021 number 296 November 2021 number 281 December 2021 number 276 February 2022 number 260 March 2022 number 249 May 2022 number 233 June 2022 number 220 July 2022 number 211 August 2022 number 208 September 2022 number 196 October 2022 number 186 November 2022 number 153 December 2022 number 135 January 2023 number 111 February 2023 number 95 March 2023 number 77 April 2023 number 67

? Notes Number 107 on the homelessness list for a 3 bed (13th may) May 2023 number 101 June 2023 number 90 July 2023 number 80 August 2023 number 64 September 2023 number 53

Here’s my chart that I kept track of as I was just so impatient on wanted to know exactly when I would get offered something

I was at number 50 in October when I got offered a place

@RhiannaClaudia thank you so much for explaining this! So basically if you are around position 250 it could take a couple years but depending on the house size etc

Hey hun I just came looking for other people on the same list as me, what position are you at now ? They’ve just put me at position 213 band B so I’m just curious to see if your position has gone down at all in 3 months ?

@Kacy hi hun,yes it has moved to the 100s last time I checked (login doesn’t work atm) I got sent a letter but I provided documents so it could be why x

Ah nice ! Well hopefully that’s a bit of a sign it moves a little quicker than I’d thought! Thank you for that ❤️ I hope you get your place soon x

@Kacy yours will definitely move just don’t know the time frame but in the last 3 months it did move quickly. Hang in there! I hope you get a property too x

@Kacy hi Kacy, I think we both are in the same situation, I am in band b position 154 now. It is moving a bit quicker for the last couple of months. Where are you at now?

@Selam_s yeah it’s going really quick I was 224 now I’m 192

@Selam_s no u don’t have to move band you’ll get it a place at band B. I’m waiting on a 2 bedroom also. People have been offered a place at position 50. Because you can be in band B position 35 but the 35 people might want a 3 or 4 bedroom so you’ll be number 1 for a 2 bedroom if that makes sense

@Kacy yes it does make sense. Thanks hun x

Hi! Just commenting for an update on your situation! I was down to position 180 on the general needs que, then I’ve just logged in now and I’ve been moved to homeless que position 239 ! So frustrated! I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing … anyone had this happen to them?

@Kacy were you made homeless, is that why you moved to the homeless queue? It might a good thing you may get higher priority

@Selam_s no turns out I had 2 applications going. But now they’ve moved me to the homeless que I no longer am entitled to a 2 bedroom only a 1 bedroom with my son now but it’s better than nothing.

@KacyHope you will move up the queue quick and get your place soon🤞

@Kacy hi! How is your queue going?

@Selam_s hi darling how’s the queue for you?

@Selam_s that’s really good! You’re close, I’m at 143 it has been going slower lately. Hopefully early next year they allocate more x

Hope so, I will keep you posted.x

The Wandsworth council housing list seems to not be moving in band b. Is anyone having the same issue?

My sisters in band b, she was number 404 in September and now 370 something in December. It seems to be moving for her

@RhiannaClaudia really? It hasn’t moved for me in 2 weeks now, still at the same number. Maybe we all want the same thing which is the 2 bed

Oh no really, I remember there was times when the list wouldn’t move for a whole month! she’s recently been put on the list for a 3 bedroom property in November so that’s properly why it’s moving for her

@RhiannaClaudia wow the list is a lot, thank you x

Hello, does anyone know whether 2 bed from Wandsworth council would be a house or flat please?

Probably a flat
