How to apply for a property
You must be registered on our waiting list to express an interest.
Once you are registered, you can express an interest in any of the properties that are suitable for you. For example:
- a single person will not be considered for a 3 bedroom house; and
- a large family will not be considered for a property that would make them overcrowded.
Properties will be let to applicants who apply and have the highest priority need. Adapted properties are let to applicants who apply, require the adaptations and have the highest priority.
Bury Home Options properties are advertised for one week only - each Wednesday with a closing date and time of 5pm the following Tuesday.
