Summary of Letting Results for April 2024 to March 2025

The below detail is summary of the lettings from April 2024 to May 2025. This can be helpful when considering your own rehousing options. All of the empty properties that became available for letting are shown below as well the property type and location. You can also compare your Band award of the successful applicant to your own, which are all indicators of long you may have to wait to be rehoused. Unfortunately we're unable to give exact wait times as that’s dependent on properties becoming available and how many people are already head of you waiting too.

If you’re in a lower banding and/ or can’t wait to be rehoused by the Council visit our Housing Options page for more information

A total 354 households were rehoused, made up of

266  council homes were relet88 properties from our partner housing providers were made available through our nomination agreements

What was the band award of the successful applicants

234 were direct matched to applicants in Band 1

93 successful bids were from Band 2 applicants

17 successful bids were from Band 3 applicants

7 successful bids were from Band 4

13 successful bids from Band 5 applicants

For 1-bedroom size  properties, these remain in good supply but waiting times can vary depending on your age; the wait for flats with an age restriction is shorter than that for properties without an age restriction.

2 and 4 bed sized homes are in very high demand and because of this no lets have been made to applicants outside of Band 1 and Band 2.

Waiting times for adapted sized family homes may be longer than average too, as these properties aren’t readily available

Where do properties become available

Here you can see what see what empty become available and in which areas to help you when considering your rehousing plans. We know we can’t always meet people’s most preferred housing choice in terms of a house or a flat and / or area. The larger estates are where properties become empty simply because it’s where we have the most housing stock.
