In December 2008, Falkirk Council agreed to a new way of letting houses to make sure that we house people with the greatest housing needs and make the best use of the houses available.
The main changes are summarised below.
-
Applicants will be placed in one of three applicant groups depending on their housing situation and there will be targets for lets to each of these applicant groups.
-
Applicants will be awarded one level of priority based on their most significant housing need.
-
We will advertise houses available for letting.
The Allocations policy (PDF, 1.7MB)| is available for download.
What is Homespot?
Homespot| is Falkirk Council's new Choice Based way of letting homes. Homes available for let are advertised and applicants can decide which homes they wish to be considered for. We will advertise our vacant properties every two weeks.
