Council housing and housing associations
You can apply for a council home through our Homesearch Scheme.
To register on our housing list, you need to complete an application form. Provide proof of your circumstances.
Once the form has been processed you can bid for properties. Bidding does not involve any money. You are just showing your interest in a property.
You can find out more about applying for a council house and the housing register.
Housing associations
There are homes to rent from housing associations which are registered providers. You can find out more about these housing associations and how to get on their housing register.
You can approach individual housing associations directly and apply to join their waiting list.
Some housing associations advertise through the council’s choice based letting scheme. HomeSearch will provide nominations to housing associations for some available properties. If you register with HomeSearch, you will be able to bid for available hosing association properties advertised through the scheme.
