When a home becomes available, we will do any repairs needed before the new contract holder moves in. This could take some time and depends on the type of work needed. When work is almost finished, we will go through the shortlist and contact the successful applicant.
We will carry out a pre-contract interview. We will make sure that the proposed contract holder can afford the property and that it fits their needs. They will need proof of ID – ideally photo ID and three months of bank statements.
If they are a current contract holder of ours, we will arrange a time to look over their property.
If they are a contract holder of another Social Landlord with Homeseeker we will ask them for a reference.
If the pre-contract interview is successful and we can go ahead with the offer, we will arrange a viewing. If needed, an Occupational Therapist will be at the viewing to assess that the home is suitable.
If the home is suitable, they can then sign for the property. Advanced payment of rent is needed at sign up.
