Some properties are let at “affordable rents”. These are around 80% of private rents for the area so can be expensive, depending on the location. (Affordable Rent is a government scheme to help housing providers generate income to invest in building more homes). Properties let at traditional social rents are generally cheaper so you can opt to bid only for these properties. Depending on your household composition and total household income you may be eligible for help towards housing costs. To find out what you might be entitled to go to https://www.entitledto.co.uk/.
