Expression of Interest

Expression of Interest properties are allocated via Local Lettings Policies. Applicants must be able to demonstrate a strong local connection to the area, and evidence this when required


The aim of a Local Lettings Policy (LLP) is to ensure that housing developments in The Vale of Glamorgan’s Rural Communities are sustainable and integrate into the local community.

 

Local Lettings Policies

 

  • How are Local Lettings Policies developed? 
    The policies are developed by and agreed in partnership with the Vale of Glamorgan Council, the Housing Association and the Community Council who represent the residents of the community in which the properties are being developed.
  •  How are properties with a Local Lettings Policy allocated?
     Properties with an LLP are allocated in a different way to properties available for bids through the Homes4U scheme. Applicants in the first instance are prioritised in line with the specific LLP. Applicants with the strongest connections to the community are given the highest priority. Applicants within the highest priority band are then prioritised in line with the Homes4u Policy.
  •  How are properties with a Local Lettings Policy advertised? 
     Properties are advertised on the weekly Homes4u advert as Expressions of Interest. Applicants are invited to apply via the dedicated link whilst the advert is open and give specific details in relation to the property in which they are interested.
  •  How is the connection to the area verified? 
    Should you be shortlisted for a property you will be called by the Rural Housing Enabler from the Vale of Glamorgan Council to check the accuracy of information. Once this is verified your details will be passed to the relevant Housing Association who will request legal documentary evidence of the connection stated. You will be advised by the Rural Housing Enabler of the evidence you need to gather for the Housing Officer. 
  •  How long does the Local Lettings Policy remain in place?
     The LLP remains in place for the lifetime of the property. All future re-let’s will be allocated in line with the LLP.
  •  Where are the Local Lettings Policies for specific developments/properties? 
     All our Local Lettings Policy sites are found above. Please follow the link for the specific local lettings policy for this site.
