3 bedroome property.
Now this is slightly unusual because a normal 3 bed house in this area would be £525 per month, however this is a detached bungalow which after some modernisation would fetch £700 per month.
However i dot want to spend the money modernising it so i’m willing to let ot go as is to LHA.
local rates are:
sharer £55
one bed £85.38
two bed £103.85
three bed £115.38
four bed £150
I’ve had a call from a lady
Single parent on LHA currently with 2 girls 14 & 5 plus a son of 21 on JSA.
Now, on face value they would only get a 3 bed rate of £115.38 pw BUT according to HBinfo I create a 2 bed tenancy & claim for mom & the girls of £103.85 plus a seperate ast & claim for the 21 year old boy.
Now as he is 21 i think he is classed as a non dependant and can therefore claim a one bed rate which is £85.38pw.
Giving a total of £189.23PW ( X 12 / 52 = £819.99 PER MONTH)
I think thats right but i stand to be corrected if anyone knows better.

It has since occured to me that i could put the 21 year old and the kids on one claim and mom on another to maximise the income?
any thoughts appreciated.
