Moving to another Borough accessible level housing

I was in a similar situation, I was in private rented accommodation in London but when my condition worsened and I had to stop work, I could no longer afford the rent, the Housing allowance was far less than my actual rent. So after 10 years I had no choice but to move. I was desperate for a bungalow with a garden, but Local authority wouldn't even talk to me unless I got evicted and became homeless, even then my best hope was a flat... I found that Bungalows with a garden in the private sector were all much more expensive then the local housing allowance regardless of where I looked, and I searched from Scotland to Cornwall !! Eventually I found an area where the asking rents matched the local authority housing rate. and 3 weeks ago I moved into a detached 2 bedroom bungalow with a garage and nice garden and the rent is only £5 a week more them my housing allowance for a one bedroom !! It's not on the coast, but in a small village in Cambridgeshire.... Try searching some of the small villages surrounding Cambridge (within 15 miles, they don't all work but some do, you have to cross check each property with the housing allowance) after searching the entire country for 6 months I believe it's probably the only place where this is possible. If you need any help or more advice please let me know and ....Good luck :-)
