Making a change to your application

If you have a change in circumstances and need to make a change to your application form, please log in to your account, select the “My Details” section, and then click the link to complete a change of circumstances. You are able to update your contact details without completing the form.

Once we have received your revised form, we will carry out a housing needs assessment based on the new circumstances and will contact you if we need any further information.

Examples of some changes of circumstances include, but are not limited to:

change of address
people joining or leaving the household
relationship breakdown
any other material change in circumstances which will affect your housing application

For other changes, such as the birth of a child, a change of income/capital, or death of a household member, you will need to send copies of supporting documents.

Please address all post to the Home-Link Team and quote your Home Link reference.
If you have any questions regarding this please contact us.

Local Lettings Plans

Local lettings plans are used to help create balanced and mixed communities, usually on developments where a large number of homes will be allocated at one time.

If you would like to bid on a property with a local lettings plan in place, please read the relevant plan below before you bid. It will usually state on the advert that a local lettings policy applies.
