Applying for a council property

In this section:

• Registering for a council property
  How to register for a council property, and what happens to your application
• Receving a rented home offer
  If we offer you a home we will write or telephone you, usually within 3 working days
• Council housing allocation system
  The housing register is used to make allocations to housing stock owned by City of York Council and provide nominations to rented and low-cost ownership housing owned by housing associations
• Choice based lettings
  Some properties across the city are to be let using choice based lettings: a property is advertised and applicants express an interest in a property by 'bidding' for it
• Housing associations
  Housing associations provide a range of accommodation for rent and in some cases shared ownership
