Whilst properties are being advertised, there may be delays in landlords being able to let properties which are currently being advertised or in the shortlisting process.
As we are experiencing an increase in demand there are a few steps that you can take to help us process applications and changes.
- Please apply online, rather than by paper application, because it will be more likely to be processed at this time;
- If your communications preference is currently by letter, please consider changing it from letter to email and ensure that your email address is up-to-date; and
- If you are able to, please either screenshot, photograph or scan then email to us your completed application forms and/or proofs of evidence e.g. Health & Wellbeing forms, Supporting Evidence forms, letters, etc.
