Already a registered Applicant?
These are the ways you can register your
choices:
You can register up to a maximum of three
property choices and we offer three ways for you to register those
choices. The closing time and date by which you must have
registered your choices is shown on the first page of the Property
Newsletter, we will not accept choices after this time.
Properties are only allocated after the list
has closed. You can help us speed up how quickly we allocate
properties by resisting the urge to phone us and check if you have
been successful. If you are successful we will contact you by the
Friday after the closing date. If we do not contact you by this
time, you will have been unsuccessful on this occasion.
