Local Lettings Scheme
Local lettings schemes
Occasionally we will advertise properties which will be clearly marked as giving priority to Council 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. All new build developments completed by the will have an agreed local letting plan which will determine how these propeties are allocated.
In these cases, the identified local lettings area information will usually be available to view on the website via a link from the Home page while the advert is live. 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 for local council tenants to place their bids and you are not a council tenant living in the agreed local lettings area, your bid will not be considered as all eligible tenants will be offered in the first instance. You can bid when the remaining properties are advertised for general bidding at a later date.
This is the information for recent new build development schemes:
