Bedroom Calculations for Council Housing
Unsure of how many bedrooms you need?
If you bid for a property that is too large or too small for your needs, then your bid will not be considered.
Use these guidelines to work out how many bedrooms you are entitled to.
-
A single person can bid for a bedsit or a 1 or 2 bedroom property.
-
A couple can bid for a 1 or 2 bedroom property.
If you have children, or there are other adults moving with you, then the size of property you can bid for changes.
-
Every person over the age of 14 is entitled to a room of their own.
Any only child is entitled to a bedroom, but if you have more than one child they may be able to share a bedroom.
-
Two children of different sexes under the age of 7 can share a bedroom.
-
Two boys or two girls under the age of 14 can share a bedroom.
Also if the person wishes to allow two same sex children of 14 years and over to share a bedroom, this could be their choice.
You may need another bedroom if anyone in your household has health problems.
