1st = FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED HOMES
We can advertise these homes on Homefinder at any time. There isn’t a deadline for bidding for a home like this. It usually goes to the first person who bids for it, rather than to the person with the highest priority. But 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.
P = PRIORITY HOMES (P)
A new batch of Priority homes is put on Homefinder at 12.05am every Thursday. They stay on for one week. You must bid for one of these homes by 10pm on Wednesday. The landlord of the home looks at the rehousing priority of everyone who has bid, and decides who is offered the home.
Rehousing rules
Each landlord in the Manchester Housing Register has different rules for setting people’s rehousing priority and deciding who gets offered a home. If you are logged-in, you can check your rehousing status with each landlord – go to My Homefinder.
