Facts about Council Housing in Newcastle
Our Properties
The Housing Register
If no new applicants applied, it would take us nearly 5 years to re-house all of the households currently on the housing register.
Waiting Times
Additional Housing Options
Due to the current demand for social housing and the lack of available properties it is not possible to offer all households on the housing register a property.
We advise applicants to be realistic with the length of time you may wait for an offer of property and encourage you to explore other options that are available to you. If you are a council or housing association tenant you may find it quicker to be rehoused by ‘swapping‘ your home with another tenant through mutual exchange. Or you may want to consider renting from a private landlord which may provide you with more choice in terms of areas. You can find out more about your housing options HERE.
