Fingal Affordable Housing Questions

DUBJEN · 2007-03-12 20:03:36

Hope someone can help me here. Myself and my boyf have been saving the last few months in the hope of getting a deposit up, now we have decided that one of us should apply for the affordable housing and see what happens. I was thinking of doing it in my name as my credit card is lower so I can clear mine quicker before…

Myself and my boyf have been saving the last few months in the hope of getting a deposit up, now we have decided that one of us should apply for the affordable housing and see what happens. I was thinking of doing it in my name as my credit card is lower so I can clear mine quicker before applying but our joint account that we save in is in both of our names. Should I try get this changed into my name only? Might look a bit funny if I am saving in our account but want a house for myself.
Does anyone know how many months they will want bank statements for?
Do you think that for me applying myself I would be offered a 1bed apt or would I still have a good chance of getting a house?
Finally what is the amount you should be saving, I know on the website it says 650/700 but I was then told by a friend that this is out of date and it should be 800?
Any help at all would be a great help
