If you want to apply for a council house in Hillingdon, you need to join the housing register and complete an application through Locata. Hillingdon says your application will be assessed under the Social Housing Allocation Policy, and you’ll need to provide supporting evidence before it can be considered.
| Step | What Hillingdon says you need to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Read the criteria for joining the housing register before applying. |
| 2 | Check what evidence you’ll need and decide who to include on your form. |
| 3 | If you meet the criteria, register with Locata. |
| 4 | Send in all supporting documents, including proof of your address for the last 10 years, so your application can be assessed. |
| 5 | If you’re applying because of a medical condition or disability, complete a medical self assessment form alongside your application. |
| 6 | After assessment, Hillingdon will give you a reference number, a priority band, and usually a priority date. |
| 7 | You can then use your reference number to bid for available homes through the Locata system. |
If your circumstances change after you apply, Hillingdon says you must tell them and complete a change in circumstances form so your application can be updated and reassessed.
