Why do I have to bid?

Bidding is the way in which you register your interest in a particular property. This means you will not be offered homes that you would not accept or find suitable and you will not be able to bid on homes that do not meet your household requirements. However, if you do not bid, you will not be considered for any properties. 

In certain circumstances, we can arrange for automatic bidding. Please ask us about this if you are not able to see advertised properties and need assistance.

How does banding work?

Banding prioritises applicants based on their housing need. Your application will be banded according to your circumstances and information provided in your application. There are four bands:

  • Platinum – urgent housing need 

  • Gold – high housing need 

  • Silver – low housing need 

  • Bronze – low need or adequately housed
