To rent a home with us you need to apply to your local council.

Once you’ve completed your application form you’ll be placed on a waiting list.

The council will prioritise your application and nominate you for a home suitable for your needs.

You can find links to your council’s housing website below. If you have a question about an application you have made you should contact the council dealing with it.

Right to shared ownership

Some of our new build rented homes benefit from the Right to Shared Ownership Scheme. The scheme applies to new homes built to rent with funding from the Affordable Homes Programme 2021 – 2026.

The Right to Shared Ownership Scheme means that you can buy between 10% to 75% of your home subject to meeting the eligibility criteria.

You usually pay a deposit and mortgage to purchase the proportion of the home you own. You will also pay rent on the proportion you do not own.

Find out more about the right to shared ownership scheme and the application process.

Some homes are exempt from the scheme. You will be advised when you apply if your home is exempt.

Our pre-tenancy assessment process has gone digital – making the entire process quicker for you.

This means that if you are a new customer looking to rent with us you will need a valid email address so that we can sign you up to our online customer portal, My Account.

If you are an existing customer wanting to move home, you will need to make sure that the contact information we have for you – including your email address – is up to date.

Benefits of going digital include:

• no paper form to complete
• quicker process – you won’t have to wait for the form to be manually processed. Your completed assessment form will go straight onto our system
• environmentally friendly – reducing the amount of paper we use
