How many locations can I apply for?
You can apply for up to five our of rented housing locations. However, make sure you only apply for locations that you're interested in as you can only refuse up to three offers before your application is closed for all locations.
What does your website mean when it says there are properties available now?
If this location is showing as having properties available now it means there is a vacancy ready for someone to move into straight away. Due to the popularity of our locations, many have a waiting list, with properties allocated based on a number of factors. Where a location shows as having properties available now it means either there is no waiting list or the specific property is not suitable for any of the people already on the waiting list, and if you apply and are eligible, you may be able to move in very quickly.
You can still apply for locations that do not show as having properties available now, but will join a waiting list.
How do you allocate properties on the waiting list?
We’ll put your application on the waiting list in date order however there are several other factors that need to be taken into account:
- We’re obliged to offer some of our empty properties to local authorities - this varies from location to location
- When we do let from our own waiting list then we initially seek to offer properties to an applicant with a priority need for housing. This may include someone who urgently needs a specially adapted property.
We aim to make the best use of our properties by matching the size of an applicant’s household to the size of the property and those with a better match will be offered a property first.
How long will I have to wait for a property?
We can let you know how many people are on the waiting list for location(s) you’re interested in as well as how many properties we’ve let to applicants on the waiting list in the past 12 months.
However, we’re unable to give you an exact timeframe for how long it will take to be offered a property. Timings will depend on the waiting list and a property becoming available.
Can I take a tour of the location?
Yes, the local manager will be happy to show you around, although you may not be able to see inside properties if they’re occupied. If you'd like to visit, please contact the local manager using the number provided on enquiry.
If you’d prefer, we can also offer virtual viewings using technology to support your decision-making, where this is possible.
