How to apply

Once you’ve found an available property that you like, or you’d like to add your name to the waiting list for a certain area or development, the next stage is to fill out an application form.

Where you want to live will affect how you apply and who you have to apply to.

  • In some areas, you apply through a Common Housing Register, which means that you only have to fill in one application form for all local housing providers
  • In other areas you have to apply for a home through the local authority
  • Anywhere not covered by either of these, means you should apply directly through us

We know that searching for the right accommodation can be a stressful time, so we try to make it as easy as possible for you to find out how you should apply.
