Important announcement

Temporary Disruption to Housing Services 

Due to a scheduled system upgrade, some housing services may be limited or unavailable between Friday 15 August and Tuesday 19 August 2025.

We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience during this time. 

Properties that become vacant are allocated to people on our waiting list, which we call the Common Housing Register.

The Council has three lists which we allocate vacant properties from:

  • Waiting List (points)
  • Transfer List (points)
  • Homelessness List (date order) .

To enhance your housing prospects we would encourage you to apply to other housing providers and consider assistance from our Deposit Guarantee Scheme
