Saving your application

You can save your part-completed application and then go back and continue.

You will be asked to submit a password of your choice. To get back to your saved application go to the Housing application link again and open a new form then:

click on the 'Restore' button
tick the version you wish to restore
enter your password

You can only restore your application on the same computer where you saved it. You can only restore your application within 3 days of saving it.

Submitting your application

When you have completed and submitted your online application, a summary will be displayed on screen. You must print and sign the Declaration, Inclusion statements and medical questionnaire (if relevant) and send or bring them to the housing register team (details below).

When your application has been processed we will write to tell you in which band you have been placed.

Your priority for housing will be assessed from the information given on your application. Before any offers of accommodation are made all the information on your application will be checked and verified. If any of the information is found to be incorrect your application will be reassessed and you may be placed in a different band.

To complete an application form go to the Housing application link in 'Do it online'.
