Other homes
PrintYou can apply for many of our homes on different websites and through local authorities.
In some areas this is via a waiting list that you need to register for. The other option is through a local choice based lettings partnership which lets you apply for the homes you’re interested in rather than going on a waiting list. Where possible, we advertise our homes through these lettings partnerships where you can see properties from lots of landlords all in one place.
In some areas, a number of properties are also given to people referred by the local authority. This is called a local authority nomination.
How do I apply for a home?
