Housing Applications - Waiting Times
You are entitled to be given general information about whether accommodation appropriate to your needs is likely to be made available and your position on the Housing Register.
It is never easy to be precise about waiting times, as we cannot predict how many people will apply who are in greater need than you, or how many properties will become available to let.
The length of time you will wait depends on several factors. These include:
- Your points level
- The size and type of property you require
- Your areas of choice
- Suitable vacancies becoming available
- If you have any housing related debts
If you only want a very limited area, or have very particular requirements, you may wait longer than if you are prepared to consider any area.
For information on the allocation points scheme, please see Housing Allocations - Allocation System.
