If you want to apply for a council house in Guildford, you need to go onto the Housing Register. Guildford then uses a banding system to decide priority, based on your housing need.
| Step | What Guildford says |
|---|---|
| 1 | Apply to the Housing Register |
| 2 | Your application is assessed using the banding scheme |
| 3 | Priority is based on your housing need and circumstances |
Guildford says the banding scheme runs from A to E, with Band A being urgent/exceptional and Bands D–E being lower priority. If you’re already a council tenant and want to move, you can also contact the Housing Advice & Allocations Team on 01483 505050, email housingadvice@guildford.gov.uk, or use the contact us form.
The published information here points to the housing allocation scheme and housing register, but it doesn’t give the full online application link in the text shown. If you’re an existing tenant, Guildford also says they can help you understand the best route for your circumstances.
