Making an Offer

When bidding closes, the bids received for each property are ranked according to their priority. The top bidder is usually offered the property, provided they meet the criteria. 

 

It is important to note that it is still the responsibility of the Council to make a final judgment on whether or not it is appropriate to allocate a certain property to a particular applicant.  Therefore, being the top bidder does not automatically guarantee that the property is offered to the applicant.

 

The offer depends on your housing need and your current housing situation.

 

You can find out the final position of all your bids by logging on to this website.

 

Once you have been offered a property, arrangements will be made for you to view it with a member of the council’s housing staff.  It may be several days before these arrangements are made.

 

If it is suitable and you would like to accept the offer, you will be asked to sign a tenancy agreement and arrangements will be made for the tenancy to start as soon as possible.

 

If it is not suitable or for some reason you do not want to accept the offer, then the property will be offered to the second applicant on the list, and so on. 

 

Remember – you will only be made two offers of accommodation. If you refuse both offers your application will be deferred for six months.
