The best first step is to contact your Housing Officer for advice.

They may advise you to get a needs assessment based around housing for a transfer/bidding system application, joining a home swapper website etc.

If you are downsizing that will help with your priority.

Some areas don't have many bungalows so you might want to consider a flat. Sheltered Housing is also an option.

Heya @Jeandodd1 and welcome to the community.

I'm sorry to hear you can't manage stairs any more, but good luck in finding a lovely bungalow that suits you. Kimmy has already given the best link to check out, but I just wanted to stop in and say a quick hello. 😊
