Step 3 - Offer

Once you have made a bid the system will place you in a bidding queue according to your registration or effective date.  This is important if more than one person applies for the same home.

After the closing date we will then carry out any outstanding eligibility checks, such as rent checks, household circumstance checks and reference checks.

If your name is at the top of the priority list you will normally be invited to view the property unless there are reasons why we are unable to do this, for example, you have rent arrears or the Council is taking legal action against you for breaching a tenancy condition.  If we are unable to offer the property to the applicant at the top of the list we will move to the next applicant and so on.

If you decide to refuse the property it will be offered to the next person on the priority list.  Refusing a property wastes time and money and if you are in a priority band, you may be moved to a lower band.

If you are offered a property you will not be short listed for other properties until you have decided to either accept or refuse the offer.

If you accept the property you will be advised when you can move in. You will also be given an appointment to come into one of our area offices to sign the tenancy agreement and collect the keys.
