Most Asked Questions

Why is my council housing application taking so long?

Council house claim applications often take a long time due to high demand, limited available properties, checks on eligibility, and verification of supporting documents. Delays can also occur if your housing register application form is incomplete or if the council is assessing your banding priority. We can review your current status, identify issues, and guide you on steps that may help speed up the process.

Why was my council housing application refused?

A refusal can happen for many reasons – insufficient evidence, not meeting the eligibility criteria, unclear financial information, or the council deciding you do not have a priority need. We can examine the decision letter, explain the legal basis, and help you gather stronger documentation for an appeal or reconsideration.

What should I do if the council housing application is refused?

If your application is refused, you have the right to request a review, appeal, or submit a reconsideration request. We assist with drafting formal representations, preparing supporting evidence, and ensuring your circumstances – such as homelessness, overcrowding, or medical needs – are clearly explained.

How do I appeal a council housing decision?

To appeal a council housing decision, you must request a statutory review within the deadline (usually 21 days). This involves submitting detailed written evidence, legal arguments, and updated documents. We prepare the full appeal package and correspond with the council on your behalf.

How do I challenge a council housing decision?

Challenging a decision may involve highlighting errors, providing new evidence, showing unmet legal duties, or demonstrating a change in your circumstances. Our team ensures your case is structured clearly, referencing relevant housing legislation and guidance.

The council is not helping with housing – what can I do?

If the council isn’t responding or refuses to accept your homelessness application, you still have rights under the Housing Act 1996 and Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. We can help escalate the issue, ensure your application is logged correctly, and support you through the formal complaints or review process.

How does priority for council housing work?

Priority is based on your circumstances – such as homelessness, medical needs, domestic abuse, overcrowding, unsafe housing, or vulnerability. We assess which priority categories apply to you and help you present stronger evidence.

How are council housing bands explained?

Bands determine how urgently you need a home. Band A is the highest priority, followed by B, C, and so on. Your band is set according to your circumstances; we help you understand your band and how to strengthen your case for a higher one.

Can I move up a council housing band?

Yes – if your situation becomes more urgent, or if you provide new evidence (medical, safety, welfare, overcrowding, etc.). We help gather the evidence needed for a band review.

How do I get priority housing?

Getting priority housing depends on showing the council you meet certain criteria, such as homelessness, risk factors, medical need, or severe overcrowding. We guide you in preparing a strong, well-evidenced case for your council house claim.
