Improvements to the website and search

We’ve made some improvements to our website to make it quicker and easier to find what you need when visiting. 

This is first in a series of improvements to online services, so we'd love to know what you think of these changes and whether they have helped you do what you needed to do today. We’ll use this feedback to continue to improve things in the future.   

Complete a short survey to let us know what you think – it should take no more than five minutes to complete. Thank you for your help.

Finding a home

It is very unlikely that you will be offered a council home as there is far more demand than supply. Find out how else you may be able to find a home.

  • Bid for housing

    Find out more about our choice-based lettings scheme, where you can bid for housing if you have 120 points or more.

  • Downsizing

    If you live in a council property that is too big for you, we can help you to downsize to a smaller, more manageable home

  • Private rented accommodation

    If you rent privately you will have a greater number of properties and a wider choice when deciding what type of property you want.
