Social or housing association homes
Watford Borough Council consulted on our new Nominations Policy in 2025 and this was approved in October 2025.
The Nominations Policy tells us who can go on the housing register and what priority they will be allocated.
What does this mean for you?
- You do not need to reapply to the register
- You will not be removed from the register
- You will automatically be assessed under the new policy
- You will be notified of any changes to your priority week commencing 23 February
- There will be no properties advertised between 25 February and 12 March
- Advertising will commence from the 13 March
- You will be bidding with your new priority from 13 March
We will be unable to discuss individual cases until after we have written to you in the week commencing 23 February. At this stage we will give you opportunities to come and talk to us. We will provide details of how to contact us when we notify you in the week commencing 23 February.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we transition to operating under our new nominations policy.
