'IMPORTANT CHANGES TO HARLOW HOMEFINDER'

'Harlow Council has recently made the following change to its allocations policy which affects everyone placing bids through Homefinder:
Anyone refusing 2 reasonable offers of accommodation will be moved down a band for a period of 6 months ( NB homeless households lose their priority after 1 reasonable offer ). Please, therefore, ensure that you only bid for properties you would be willing to accept.

In addition, some changes have been made to the bidding/offer process for homeless households:
All households towards whom the council has accepted the full homeless duty will be placed in band 2* and have a 3 month time limited bidding period. If the household has not placed a successful bid within the 3 month period, an offer will be made.

( * the exceptions are those households placed in supported accommodation who have not attained sufficient independent living skills to manage a tenancy and those who are not eligible to bid for some other reason).

These changes take place with immediate effect. The council’s Allocations Policy can be viewed in full in the Housing section of the Council’s website www.harlow.gov.uk'
