How we assess your application

Once you have submitted your housing application form and provided the necessary documentation the following steps will be take place: 

Verification  

A member of the allocations team will review the application and ensure all the required information and documents have been submitted.  

Assessment  

Once we have all the information needed to complete your assessment, we will assess your application against the allocation scheme criteria and determine the priority of your application. 

We assess applications in date order. We will then write to you to update you on the outcome of your housing application.  

Applicants will be placed into a priority band. There are 4 priority bands in the order of A to D. Band A has the highest priority and Band D the lowest. For more information on the priority bands please read the Allocations Scheme summary guide.

If your housing application is successful we’ll contact you to let you know which priority band fits your current circumstances. If you are not successful, you have the right to request a review of the decision.
