Local lettings schemes

Occasionally we will advertise properties which will be clearly marked as giving priority to tenants living in the local lettings area. These may be newly created properties as part of the hidden homes projects or newly built council housing.

In these cases, the identified local lettings area information will usually be available to view on the website.  The local lettings filter which identifies all eligible applicants is applied after the close of the bidding cycle. Please be aware that if you place a bid for a property advertised in this way and you do not live in the local lettings area, your final position will differ from your bidding history as all eligible tenants will be offered in the first instance
