As the title says anybody ever received an offer? Does it come verbally by phone or via there bidding website? Do they change your application to inactive of you get an offer? How quick do you get the keys to the flat?

Alot dependson what priority you have and what becomes available and if people have more priority over you, waiting years is pretty normal now unless you are classed as very high priority, ie homeless, becoming homeless in the near furture ie landlord given notice, medical priority and things like this.
Got the second highest priority from the top. For example they quote making best use before priority awards so two people for a one bed flat would come top and only a homeless pass could overtake is. The letting feedback shows anybody with a pass waits mostly a few months one year is the longest I seen in my area but longer in others.
The flat I bid for and deleted a few months back went to a pass below me but now I am more sure of the area I did bid and my luck seems I've not got his one..
Yes you might be second priority list, but saying the number of people who become homeless now or in the near future, and medical , and disabilty needs will just up straight over the to the top of the list, and the number of people becoming homeless is increasing and expected to increase more this year, sorry to say but you could have a long wait.
