Help with making a bid

If you need help, you can ask us to place bids for you.

What happens next

When the property has closed for bids a shortlist of applicants is drawn up. The shortlist is in order of eligibility according to the criteria stated in the advert details for that property.

The applicant at the top of the shortlist will normally be put forward for the property to the landlord. If the landlord accepts the nomination the applicant will then be given an opportunity to view the property and decide whether to accept it.
