I’ve just bidded on two flats in London. How long will I have to wait to actually be accepted for a place please?

It depends on the county etc. where I live you can come 10th and then get the next property it depends on how many people bid on it and if there's anyone higher up. 2 bed houses round here take around 4 years, 3 bed houses take 6-12 months. And ours is worked out through band and dates

I’m higher priority. I’m homeless with a 2 year old

What would you both advise please?

Are you in temp accommodation? When I was homeless and pregnant I was in temp accommodation and was band 2. It took me 3 months of bidding to get housed. They ended up bidding for me on 1 bedroom flats to get out quicker. I was in temp accommodation for 9 months

If I’m in temp accommodation would it mean I’m higher on the list. I thought as it says I’m band HP I’m already high.

Thank you so much what does HP mean? Can I go higher than HP at all? Should I keep bidding at 12 am to try and secure a place

I don't understand what HP means as a band, I know it means high priority but my bands with my council is 1,2 and 3. And 2 is a high priority but can still take years.
Tell the council you don't have nowhere to go and they should put you in temporary accommodation. You won't be a higher priority living in temporary accommodation you'll just have a temporary home for you and your child for now x
