Housing Applications - What Happens Next
Your application will be carefully considered to make sure that all questions have been filled in completely, and that you qualify to join the Housing Register. We will contact you if we need any more information.
If you qualify, you will be placed on the register and assessed under the points scheme. You will be sent a letter stating the date from which your application was registered. You will also be advised of your priority under the allocations scheme.
When you are close to being made an offer of accommodation you will be visited at home in order to check the details of your application, and to ensure that your points have been correctly calculated.
Sometimes visits will be arranged earlier if your situation is complex or there are queries about your application which can best be resolved by a home visit.
If you do not qualify to be on the Housing Register, you will be told the reasons for this decision in writing.
For information about how you will be offered accommodation, please see Housing Allocations - Allocated Council Homes.
