If you are accepted on to the housing register we will write to tell you:
You must tell us if there are any changes in your circumstances so that we can reassess your application and if necessary make changes to your points, bedroom entitlement and effective date. Your points will not usually change unless your circumstances change with the exception of waiting time points (5 points awarded on the anniversary of your effective date for each year you are waiting up to a maximum of 25points).
How are points awarded to my application?
To see the reasons for which points are awarded as well as how the bedroom standard is assessed and any other frequently asked questions see the document 'Applying for a Home' (pdf)
What are my chances of being successful in bidding?
There are typically about 150 properties which become available and are advertised for rent each year. However, with over 1500 applicants on the register, this means 90% of applicants will be not be successful within any given year. To give you some feedback on the properties we have let, you can view the Recent lets section or see the Lettings map which gives you an indication of your chances on the housing register.
