CHOICE BASED LETTINGS

This is a new way of allocating property to tenants. Every week the properties available are advertised and you can choose whether you want to bid for the property. You have to register with the scheme and you are given a level of housing need. The properties are then advertised and they say what level can apply for that property. The new schemes mean that you have a choice about the property you want to live in and how quickly you are housed.

How do I get allocated a property with CBL?

With CBL schemes your application is given a banding and each individual choice based lettings scheme has its own system. It's called a bidding cycle. Available properties are regularly advertised with the banding that can apply for them. When you see a property you are eligible for you can then make a bid for it. If your bid is successful you will be short listed for that property.
