What do I need to consider when looking for a new home?
Looking for a New Home When you are looking for a new home you need to think about how the weekly rent compares to how much Local Housing Allowance/Housing Benefit (LHA) you will get. You also need to budget for your payments towards the rent bond each week, so it is in your interest to keep rent top-ups as low as possible.
We may turn down the property if we feel that you will not be able to afford the rent top-up and bond repayments, or if the property is unsuitable.
