I rang up early Thursday morning to apply for a FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED property – why have I not been offered it?
Homefinder is updated every Thursday with a fresh batch of PRIORITY homes. But individual FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED properties can be added at any time. Just because a home is still on the website, it doesn’t mean no-one has bid for it yet. It is only removed when it has been accepted by a bidder. They can also be advertised on the website before they appear on the printed Homefinder Weekly. So even though you applied early on Thursday, you may not have been the first eligible person to go for it. So don’t just look and apply on a Thursday. Keep calling, or check the website regularly. Remember Homefinder advertises the homes, you bid for them, the landlord decides who get them.
