  • REFUSALS BY APPLICANTS

Please always remember - where an applicant refuses an offer of a property for which they have placed a bid, Homes 4 Wiltshire will consider whether or not the refusal is reasonable.

If the refusal is considered unreasonable, the applicant will be advised in writing of this, and given the opportunity to appeal against this decision.

If an applicant unreasonably refuses 3 properties for which they have bid, their application will be placed in the bronze band for a period of 6 months.

Applicants will be advised of the potential consequences of refusing properties after each unreasonable refusal.

This sanction will not apply to applicants for whom the autobid function is used, as they have not specifically bid for the properties in question.

Please note that we will notify in writing all applicants who refuse a property to warn them of this Policy change.
