Social Housing is in great demand and very short supply. Regrettably, even people in the greatest need often face a delay of several years before they get housed.
- We let 2008 properties in the last 12 months, equal to 8% of over 25,500 applicants on the housing register. Half of these properties had more than one bedroom.
- Please view our average waiting time and recent let information.
- To help secure accommodation as quickly as possible, it is important that you consider alternative housing options, including renting privately. For more information on this, please visit Alternative Housing Options.
- Current social housing tenants are advised to pursue a mutual exchange. Please visit Homeswapper to register.
