Looking to rent?
Homeless or in urgent need of housing
We do not operate our own allocations so, if you are in serious or urgent housing need you will have to contact your local authority. They will carry out a housing needs assessment and will advise you of your options.
You can also approach your local Citizens Advice, or other independent advice agencies for support. Shelter can provide you with independent advice about what to do if you are homeless or having problems with your accommodation and are at risk of homelessness.
We also advertise available homes on some other websites:
DSS Move
DSS Move is a comprehensive and unique property web portal connecting tenants claiming housing benefit with letting agents and landlords that say yes to DSS.
OpenRent
We advertise a number of Intermediate Rent and Market Rent properties using the OpenRent website. To be eligible to apply for these properties, you must be employed full-time. Our key worker properties, if available, are now Open Rent, where we will provide all applicants with an employee verification form to be completed by their employer.
