Once the bidding is closed applicants are shortlisted the following Monday (or the next working day if it is a bank holiday) and usually the top three bidders are invited to view the property the next day. Applicants will not be contacted if they have not been shortlisted. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted by telephone on the Monday, to view the property on the Tuesday of the same week, i.e. the next day! This means it is very important we have the right contact number for applicants.
After viewing the property the bidder with the most points (highest priority) who wants the property will be offered the tenancy. If that household decides not to take the property it will be offered to the household in position two etc. The property will be let to the household in the highest position that accepts the property.
