Auto-bidding is when the housing bidding system automatically places bids on behalf of the applicant, where they are not able to do so themselves.

Bids placed by the system count as though the applicant has done it themselves, and usual rules regarding refusals of offers still apply. Applicants who refuse two properties within 12 months will be placed into Band D2 and lose their accrued time on the Housing Register:

Band D2

6.15.2

 

 

Refusal of offers / failure to view

a)Applicants who, having successfully bid for a property, refuse to accept it, twice within 12 months for no evidenced reason and assessed as an unreasonable refusal by an Allocations Officer.

  • An application will have reduced priority for 12 months from the date of the last refusal.
  • The reassessment to Band D2 will also mean a new registration date for that applicant and the loss of accrued time on the housing register while in a previous higher band.
  • It is the responsibility of the applicant to complete a change of circumstances on line to request reassessment after 12 months and the Council will not be responsible for any extended time in this banding due to an applicant's failure to request a reassessment.

Where an application is held in joint names, we will accept a request from either joint applicant.
