Join the housing register

You can apply for council housing through us. You'll usually have to join a waiting list and you're not guaranteed to get a property.

You can apply to join the housing register if you:

• have a right to live in the UK
• are aged 16 years or over
• have a housing need listed in our allocations policy
• live or have family/employment connections in the borough  (subject to verification)

We will send you a letter or an email if you have been accepted on the housing register.

This will tell you:

• the band you have been placed within
• the date your application has been registered from
• the size of property you are eligible for

Please read the Allocation Scheme (PDF, 1 MB) before you submit your request.
