Have you been awarded a Band C2 and are currently waiting for a move?
We often receive questions from our Band C2 customers asking how long they will be waiting to move home.
If you are awarded band C2 this means you have more than one housing need to move, some examples of this are as follows:
- Band D 1 bedroom short + Band E Non-urgent medical award = Band C2
- Band D 1 bedroom short + Band E Children above the ground floor in a high or low rise property = Band C2
Waiting times are based on banding, the length of time you have been awarded that banding, our available property stock and also location or property preference.
Here are some current statistics taken from our housing register in March 2024:
- 321 customers currently awarded a Band C2
- 28 Band C2 customers are waiting for a 1 bed property
- 78 Band C2 customers are waiting for a 2 bed property
- 192 Band C2 customer are waiting for a 3 bed property
- 18 Band C2 customers are waiting for a 4 bed property
- 4 Band C2 customers are waiting for a 5 bed property
- 1 Band C2 customer is waiting for a 5 bed property
Unfortunately, due to our limited housing stock and such a high number of Band C2 customers on our housing register, waiting times to move will still be very long.
Currently, our estimated waiting times for applicants and transferring tenants awarded a Band C2 are:
- 1 bed = 350 weeks
- 2 bed = 175 weeks
- 3 bed = 255 weeks
- 4 bed = 239 weeks
- 5 bed = 454 weeks
- 6 bed = 361 weeks
To speed up your wait time we do advise you to consider all property types and locations. We also suggest the options of private renting or a mutual exchange.
Before contacting us for an update, please consider the above information.
As soon as we can, we will contact you when you are successful in bidding for a property.
All waiting times are correct as of March 2024.
