You may be offered a flat in a different development from the one you originally selected. You can choose to turn this down.
However, if you refuse an offer at your preferred development without a good reason, you may be removed from the waiting list and asked to apply again when you are ready.
Being offered a property
Once you have been given a certificate by the Needs Assessment Panel and have been allocated a flat, you will be contacted by a GHA Housing Officer, who will arrange a time for you to view the property and answer any initial questions that you may have.
During the viewing, you will be given a tour of the whole development and view the property you have been allocated. The Housing Officer will also advise you of the items that you will need to purchase and what you will be required to pay for.
Once you have accepted the offer of the property (you will be given a few days to decide), you will be required to sign the offer letter and pay your first week’s rent and service charge.
A moving date will be agreed and you will need to meet with the on site care and support staff to arrange your care plan. The care plan will determine the number of visits that you need per week, to support you in your home.
You will be required to make the necessary arrangements to move into your new property (ie book removal company etc).
On your move in date, the GHA Housing Officer will meet you on site to give you your keys and support you to sign your tenancy agreement.
