Stadium has introduced the choice based lettings allocation system.
Choice based lettings is an allocations system which allows residents to look at the available properties in the Locata magazine or website. If you find a property you like you register your interest in it by informing the landlord. A list of applicants will be drawn up and the top 5 will be able to view the property, the applicant with the highest priority who accepts the property will be successful.
Priority Banding
BAND A – Emergency
BAND B – Urgent need to move
BAND C – Identified Housing need
BAND D – All other categories
This system allows applicants to choose the property they will live in rather than the Association choosing it. Choice based lettings also allows applicants to bid for properties in other areas.Locata covers the areas of Brent, Harrow, Ealing and Hounslow.
We are looking to introduce virtual tours of new developments, this would allow applicants interested in the properties to look around the new homes by using cameras without leaving their computer.
If you would like more information on choice based lettings you can look at the Locata website where more information is available.
