There may be a time when the property you are living in is no longer suitable for you and/or your family and a more urgent move is required.
In certain circumstances we are able to assess your living situation and award a priority banding to your transfer application.
Further information is available for the following assessments via our frequently asked questions:
Medical (the property is affecting physical and/or mental health)
Welfare (ground of hardship or safety at risk)
Overcrowding (the property doesn't have enough bedrooms)
To check if you may qualify for overcrowding priority, use the housing priority calculator.
Under-occupancy (the property is to big)
To check if you may qualify for under-occupancy priority, use the housing priority calculator.
For more information about renting a council property, property criteria and the band you are likely to be placed in, please see the Two Minute Guide or you can read the full Housing Allocation Policy.
