Hi, my name is wizard and I have a question about finding housing in Bridgend.

We are looking for a house to rent in the Bridgend area for our daughter and her two children, two of the family are autistic and we are carers for them - the rents seem to be very high and out of reach for them, we are due to move in a few weeks to a bungalow there and we are desperate to find something for her and her children - can anyone help us to find cheaper housing or recommend something. The council are not interested unless she's homeless even though they are disabled.

I'm sorry finding a house for your daughter and her two children is proving to be difficult. Rent prices are high and it doesn't make it easy at all.
Shelter are a good organisation to contact for impartial housing advice and you can find their contact details on the Shelter Get Help webpage.
Also, Scope's Renting, buying and moving webpage has information around your daughter's entitlement and the housing services available.
I hope she has luck in finding a suitable place. Please let us know how you get on.

It is a very hard road to find suitable housing especially in a new area and as stated private rent could be an option but if on benefits this can put off landlords but some will rent out as long as they can pay 6 month up front rent and have a guarantor
Also look around the local area for adverts in newsagents and things. I also found gumtree had a lot of renting adverts
Good luck hope you manage to find something
