One Vision Housing

One Vision Housing lets it property through a Choice Based Lettings System. This is operated for a variety of reasons:

• It gives you the chance to express an interest (put in a bid) for homes you really wish to live in.
• It reduces paper work
• The system is easy to understand.
• It reduces the number of offers which are turned down by applicants.
• It helps to develop sustainable communities, as applicants will only express an interest (put in a bid) for homes where they want to live and wish to stay.

Choice Based Lettings involves registering a form with the Housing Department and having the application assessed for Housing Need.

We aim to assess your form and provide you with a registration number within 10 days of receipt, If there is an urgent need we will try to process your application within two working days.

Available properties will be advertised on a weekly basis and those who are registered can express an interest (put in a bid) for up to three properties. After the closing date all of the expressions of interest will be ranked in order of priority. The property will then be offered to the person with the highest priority band and the longest effective date in that band, that meets the advertised criteria.

One Vision will provide information on the outcome of each home advertised on the Internet and in future adverts in the local press. This will include information on the number of bidders, the length of time on Housing register and the band of the successful bidder.
