Principles of the
scheme
How it works..
Membership of HOMES4U is open to anyone seeking accommodation in
the Vale of Glamorgan.
To Choose a Property
Properties that are available are advertised
every fortnight. The adverts open on a Thursday at 8.30 a.m. and
close the following Wednesday at 5.00 p.m. Adverts are placed in
the Barry and District News, Penarth Times, and The Gem
Newspapers. You can also view adverts in local offices in Barry,
Llantwit Major, Cowbridge and Penarth, and on the HOMES4U web page
www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/homes4u.
You can bid for properties by telephone, in
writing, by email, or in person at the office in Barry.

verified. Properties are advertised based on priority banding.
Where more than one applicant has the same priority banding the
property will be allocated to the person who has the earliest
registration date. The priority banding groups are:
To Feedback
When properties have been allocated, regular feedback will be
published in future adverts. This information will show the
property address, registration date and the number of bids
received.
