Join the housing register
There is high demand for social rented housing in West Northants and a limited supply of available homes. People are encouraged to explore alternative housing options. You can find this information on our housing choices page.
To apply for the Housing Register you will need to use our housing application pre-screen form. Once you have filled out the form it will tell you whether you qualify and provide a link to apply to the Housing Register.
The application
You will need the following information to hand for all adults who are to be rehoused with you before you start the application process:
- Full names and dates of birth of everyone to be included in your registration for housing
- National insurance numbers
- 5 year address history
- Immigration status
- Details of any unspent criminal convictions
- Details of any Armed Forces service including dates of service
Please complete all questions in full where possible. If you don’t have the information available to complete your application in one go, you can log out and your answers for each section will be saved. However, you need to make sure you complete the questions for a section and save it before you log out.
Once you have completed your housing application form, you will be provided with a unique reference number. Please keep a record of this number, as you will need this to register for an online housing account. Once this has been completed you will then be able to send your supporting documents.
Once your application has been assessed and you have joined the housing register, you will then be able to login to your portal and bid for a potential property.
