Applying for a Council house
Apply online using Housing Online
(You’ll need a myaccount login. If you already use MyFalkirk, you will already have one.)
If you are already registered:
Sign in to Housing Online
You can view available council homes on Homespot
Before you apply
We have around 10,000 applicants on the housing list and only about 1,200 homes become available each year.
This means most applicants will wait some time for a suitable property, even if they have a high priority.
We assess every application and will give you:
- a priority Band (1 to 4) based on your housing need
- an applicant group (Home Seeker, Home Mover, Home Starter, Adapted, or Housing with Care Level 3)
Other ways to apply
If you cannot get online, you can ask for a paper application form from the Allocations Team or collect one at a local library.
You can also download a form:
Libraries can help you complete your application online if you need support.
What happens after you apply
We will contact you to explain:
- how to bid for a home on Homespot
- your priority Band
- your applicant group
- what further information we need (if any)
- how to appeal or enquire about our decision
For more details, see our Frequently Asked Questions.
