Homes 4 Wiltshire has recently made changes to its website and this will now provide you with more control over your application.
When you are logged into your account, you will see a new summary screen and from this you will now be able to:
There has also been a change to the Recent Lets section on the website. Previously the information shown provided the details of the applicant who had finished top of a property shortlist and therefore not necessarily the applicant who was successful. You will now be able to look through all of the recently let properties that have been advertised and you will be shown the band, effective date and bedroom need of the successful applicant who was housed in a property.
Please note that the information on this website will only be updated once the successful applicant has been housed. Therefore there will be a period of time between when a property has been advertised and when it will show on Recent Lets. If you are looking for a particular property and it is not showing as a recent let, this will mean that the property is either still waiting to be allocated or has not yet been updated by the Landlord.
If you have any questions or queries, please contact Homes 4 Wiltshire on 01380 734 734.
AFFORDABLE RENT

For the latest information please check the Affordable Rent section on this website.

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.
