There is currently a backlog of approximately 7 weeks to assess new applications and updates to existing applications. We are currently working on applications submitted on 23 July 2024.
We will contact you once your application is assessed. Please do not contact us about the status of your Housing Register application.
The backlog has been caused by the volume of applications - over 9,700 new and updated applications were submitted between 1 January and 31 August.
We are working to reduce the backlog as quickly as possible.

Step-by-step guide on how to login
To login, you will need:
1. Your email address
2. Your password
3. A unique One-Time Password sent to your email address
After you enter your email address and password, you will be prompted to enter a One-Time Password that will be sent to your email address. Without this, you will not be able to login to the website and bid, or change any of your details.
This is a security feature designed to keep your details as safe as possible and to prevent unauthorised access to your account. This is sometimes referred to as “Two Factor Authentication” – many of your other services such as online banking apply such principles before you can login.
