Find out what happens after you complete your application, from annual review to getting the keys!
Annual application review
You will have an annual review throughout your application period.

Please ensure you keep your contact details up to date, as your application will be cancelled if you do not respond to your annual renewal.
Rent ready visit
Before being made an offer you will receive a visit from one of our neighbourhood management officers. The purpose of this visit is to carry out an affordability check to help you prepare for paying rent on your new home as well as talking to you about saving for your first month’s rent. The visit will also go over details of your application to make sure we have got accurate information about you and those moving in with you.
Viewing

Tenancy ready appointment
Once you have accepted an offer, we’ll ask you to come and complete a tenancy ready appointment. This helps us to complete all the necessary paperwork we need to do to set your tenancy up. At this point one of our lettings executives will give you a potential moving in date.
