How to bid on a council housing property
In this section
If your bid is unsuccessful (you do not get an offer)
We are not able to make you an offer if:
- a property has been purpose built or significantly adapted for a person with a disability and you do not need that type of property
- you have rent arrears or a debt relating to a current or former tenancy
- you are under 18 and have no guarantor and no support being provided by Social Services
- a local lettings policy is in operation and you do not meet the criteria
- you intend on bringing pets that are not allowed in the property
- do not meet the Registered Provider rules of that landlord for income, household size or any other reason
- you need a level or type of support that the property or scheme cannot provide.
Withdrawing offers
We may also withdraw an offer if:
- we find that the property is not suitable for your needs or circumstances
- we find that you are not entitled to the offer
- you are currently a council tenant and the condition of your current property is not satisfactory
- you have not responded to the offer
- an error has been made in the advertising criteria
- there has been a serious breach of tenancy subsequent to the offer, but before it has been accepted.
