Applying for a property

  • Once you have applied for a property, your application will be included on a declaration of interest list, and your position may change depdning on who applies for the property. You can view your position by login in to your account.
  • We will not create a shortlist for the property until the closing date. We reserve the right to bring forward the closing date if a sufficient number of applicants have applied.
  • After the property application period has closed, we will create a shortlist taking your Tai Teg approval date/affordability/family size and local connection into consideration. Shortlists will be completed within 14 working days from the property closing date, depending on workload.
  • We will use the formula noted below to calculate that the housing cost equates to no more than approximately 30% of your income.
  • Households must be able to afford the housing costs (‘rent’ inclusive of any service charges) and these should equate to no more than approximately 30% of your income e.g. £25,000 x 30% = £7,500 / 12 (months) £625pcm
  • Once the shortlist is in place, we will invite the applicants in line with the shortlist to submit documents 3 months before the property is ready, to allow us to complete a comprehensive financial assessment.
  • Please note that it is your responsibility to make sure the details on your application form are correct at the time of applying for a property as it may affect your place on the shortlist. If your details need amending, please login to your account and amend the details and re-submit.
