We may be able to give you priority for a smaller or bigger home if necessary.
If your home is too big
As there is high demand for larger properties, we can possibly give you priority to downsize. This helps free up much-needed homes for other households in need.
If your home is too small
Unfortunately, many people in Sheffield live in overcrowded homes. Unless the overcrowding is significant, or you have other housing needs, it’s unlikely you'll be offered a larger home quickly through the Housing Register. You can always consider other housing options.
You can check current waiting times using the property availability checker.
If you're thinking about moving to a bigger home, make sure you also check whether it would be affordable for you.
