How long is the waiting time if I’m Red Band?
Due to the high housing need in Bournemouth and the length of the housing register it is unlikely an applicant in Red band would win a bid, however there may be occasions where a harder to let property does not attract bids from applicants in higher bands and may be available to bidders in Red band, this particularly applies to sheltered studio flats. We register you even though your case only warrants Red band because it is your legal right to make an application to join any Local Authority Housing Register. But we would encourage you to seek alternative options to solve your housing problem, such as mutual exchange, low cost home ownership or private sector renting. The Housing Solutions Team will be happy to advise, please contact us on 01202 451467.
