You will not be able to bid on properties on the Home Connections website from 27 August 2026 to 31 August. This is because of essential technical work.
You also will not be able to look at any bidding information during this time.
We are sorry if this affects you. You will be able to use it normally from 3 September.
Find out about changes to our services due to the bank holiday. There is no rubbish or recycling collection on Monday 31 August so collections will be a day later than usual.
We cannot offer a council home to most people who apply. This situation is unlikely to improve. Last year we let only 1,022 properties, housing around 6% of the 15,000 households on the register.
Before you can apply to be on the Housing Register, answer these questions to make sure that you are eligible.
