Outcome of past bids
To understand the outcome of your bids and to use this to improve your chances of being re-housed, it's useful to know how we prioritise bids:
If the property has any restrictions (such as preference to those needing specific adaptations that the property has, or rural local connection) we apply this to the shortlist first. Only those who meet the restriction will be considered first, the order below.
For all other general needs properties where no restrictions apply:
- We give first priority to people in the greatest housing need (starting with Band A through to Band D)
- We give priority to those who have been in housing need the longest (your priority date).
Your Previous Bids
Login and go to your account page, you'll be able to see feedback on your previous bids. If you click on 'show all previous bids', you'll see a detailed breakdown of the properties you have placed bids upon, and what the outcome was:
- Bids - how many expressions of interest were received for the property
- Your Rank - your general position on the shortlist
- Offered/Let Band - the priority band of the person who has been offered the property
- Offered/Let Priority - the priority date of the person who has been offered the property.
