What happens if we accept your bid

After bidding has ended each week, we look at all the bids for a property. Then, we nominate the successful applicant to the housing association. 

We decide who should be nominated to the housing association by looking at:

• their housing needs    
• their band on the Housing Register     
• the date they joined that band on the Housing Register

Your nomination to the housing association will only be successful if:

• the property meets your needs    
• you are in the highest Housing Register band out of the people who had placed a bid
• you have been in that band for the longest time out of the people who placed a bid

The housing association carry out their own assessment, and then they decide who gets to view the property. They will contact you to arrange a viewing if you are successful. 

Once you have viewed it, you can either accept the property or refuse the property.
