16Brighton & Hove Housing Application
You can use this form to apply for general needs or sheltered housing in Brighton &
Hove, whether you are a homeseeker applying for the first time or a transfer applicant.
All the information you give us will be placed on the Brighton & Hove Housing Register
database. Brighton & Hove City Council may share this information with housing associations or
other social landlords who could help rehouse you. We may also take references from private
landlords.
You have a right to see information kept on file about your application and to ask for any
inaccurate information to be removed.
We now operate a choice based lettings scheme called Homemove. Our full allocations scheme
policy is published and available by calling the Homemove Team on 294400 or on the council
website at
Under the lettings scheme, all applications for housing are assessed and placed in one of four
broad bands – A, B, C or D – depending on housing need. Priority is decided first by band,
then by local connection and waiting time. You have a local connection if you have lived within
Brighton & Hove for the past two years.
Please note that the demand for housing is far higher than the supply.
Homemove - choice based lettings in Brighton & Hove
With choice based lettings schemes, you have to bid to tell us which properties you are
interested in to find a new home. With the exception of a few emergency priority cases, we no
longer directly allocate properties to people on the housing register. You can make your bids
through the Homemove website, over the phone, by text message or using the special coupons
we send you.
We will send you further information about how to use the scheme once your application has
been assessed. You can also visit the Homemove website at
Homeseekers
Anyone over 18 years of age can apply for housing in Brighton & Hove, unless they are subject
to immigration control and do not have refugee status or exceptional leave or indefinite leave to
remain in the UK.
Transfer applicants
A tenant of Brighton & Hove City Council or any one of the housing associations listed on the
front and living in Brighton & Hove can apply for a transfer in the city.
Sheltered housing applicants
Older people with support needs can apply for sheltered housing once they have completed a
Support Needs Self Assessment Form and have been considered eligible.
Exclusions
Brighton & Hove City Council reserves the right not to accept applications from people whose
tenancy has previously ended due to rent arrears or anti-social behaviour, such as noise
nuisance, domestic violence, racial harassment, intimidation or drug dealing.
If your application is refused because of unacceptable behaviour, you will be told in writing,
and this will include the grounds for our decision and details of your right to request a review.
The council will not normally make offers of accommodation to transfer applicants in rent
arrears or in breach of any other aspect of their tenancy agreements.
