How often will new properties be advertised?

We will update the details on this website every two weeks, and you will have a week to let us know which properties you are interested in.

How will you decide who gets the property?

If we have more than one bid for a property from applicants in the same band we look at the applications in date of registration order – based on the date each person was first accepted onto our waiting list.

We then check that this person or family is suitable for the property (for example, we would not normally offer a 3 bedroom house to a single person). If they are, we make arrangements straight away for them to view the property. If they are happy with it, then the property is theirs! If they don’t wish to accept, or they are not suitable, we will go to the second person on the list, and so on until the property is accepted.

In certain, very limited circumstances, some applicants are given exceptional priority because of the seriousness of their situation (for example they are in danger in their current home). If someone in this position applies for one of the properties they will be considered before anyone else. If two people with exceptional priority apply, we will offer to the one who has been on the list longest.

How will I know whether I have been successful?

If you are at the top of the shortlist you will hear from us within 5 working days of the advert closing.

You can also click here to see a newsletter giving the latest information about vacancies and who they were offered to. Although we won’t give out applicants’ names, we show how many people have shown an interest in each property and how long the successful applicant was on our list. In this way you can see which types of properties are in high demand and also those which you might have a greater chance of being offered.
