We urge you to fully read the information included on this site, regarding applying to the housing register.

You should read this before you start your application. This will ensure you understand the application process, are able to access the Housing Allocation Policy and get answers to frequently asked questions,

Most importantly it will also ensure that you fully appreciate that your application cannot be assessed until you have uploaded all the required proof documentation. This will include:

• Proof of Identity (including settlement status if applicable) 
• Evidence of our National Insurance Number. 
• Proof of income  
• Proof of savings 
• Proof of Local Connections 
• Other additional information to support your housing need.  

You will be required to upload the required documents directly onto your online application.

Once you’ve uploaded the required proof documentation to your application, we will start the assessment of your application.

Please be aware that due  to a large increase in the number of applicants registering onto HomePoint you should expect  a minimum of an 8 week wait to hear the outcome of the assessment of your application.

To help enable the Team to focus on assessment of applications, rather than answering phone calls, we ask that you please be patient and not  contact the office for updates until this time period has passed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
