Elements that determine a household's position on the Housing Register

18 July 2023

Your request

Please provide a detailed breakdown of any and all elements that determine a household's position on the Housing Register. For example:

-What Band the Household is in.

-How long they have been on the housing register (how long on the register or how long in the band?)

-Any further priority hierarchy within a band.

The above are examples only. Please provide all markers that determine a household's positioning. If there are extensive details that contribute to the ranking system within a band itself (such as how many people are in a household, presence of children, medical particulars, etc) please clearly specify those. For example, if there is an additional hierarchy in Band B beyond the date the household joined the register or moved into Band B, please detail those.

Once again this request is for ANY and ALL factors that contribute to a households Housing Register position.

Our response

A household’s position on the housing register is determined by their banding and their registration date. Full details of how banding is determined can be found in our Allocations Policy, which is publicly available via our website.
