If you are on the housing register and want to bid on local homes, please make sure you complete your annual review every year. You will receive an email shortly before the anniversary of your application asking you to review your online account to confirm you are still looking for a house and that your details are the same. If you don't complete your review we'll send a reminder email. If you then don't complete your review, your application will be automatically closed. If you then reapply again, your effective date will be the date of your new application, so it's vital you complete your review in a timely manner.
