Welcome to Issue 242 of the Newsletter. Issue 242 11 February 2015 Property List Number 11022015 If you are interested in any of the properties in this Newsletter you can make a “bid” for the property from 12 noon on Wednesday 11 February 2015 until 12 noon on Wednesday 18 February 2015. You can also bid by using the Freephone telephone service (0800 678 3091). To do this you will need your application number, property list number and sequence number of the property. It does not matter whether you make your bid on the first day or the last day of the advertising cycle. Once bidding has closed, everyone who has made a bid for a property will be considered. The successful bid will be selected in accordance with the Council’s Allocations Policy. If you intend to bid for more than one property you should enter your bids in order of preference starting with your preferred property. This is very important because if you bid successfully for more than one property we will assume that the property you bid for first is your first choice, and so on, in the order you chose to bid. If your first bid is successful, we will not consider any later bids you have made, so the order in which you bid is very important. You can ask a member of staff at one of our Neighbourhood Offices/One Stop Shops or Access to Housing to register a bid for you or you can fill in the “coupon” in this Newsletter and return it to one of our Neighbourhood Offices/One Stop Shops or Access to Housing. You can also bid online at www.falkirk.gov.uk. To do this you will need your housing application reference number and Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you are an existing applicant, you should already have received this. If you have not received this or you have not registered for housing please contact one of our Neighbourhood Offices/One Stop Shops or Access to Housing. Please note: That the properties in this Newsletter are currently having repairs carried out and may not be ready for occupation until some time after 18 February 2015. Falkirk Council also reserves the right to withdraw any of the properties advertised to discharge statutory duties or deal with emergency situations if necessary. Falkirk Council has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in this Newsletter, however this is not guaranteed. Changes to Homespot We have updated our website.

Falkirk Council tenants can register with HomeSwapper free of charge and get information about tenants in the Council area who want to exchange houses as well as details of people wanting to move here from outside the area. If you are not a tenant of Falkirk Council check with your landlord to see if they are registered with HomeSwapper. Even if your landlord isn't registered with HomeSwapper you can still use this web based mutual exchange system but you will need to pay a small registration fee. For more information about HomeSwapper visit their website at www.homeswapper.co.uk at or contact your local Neighbourhood Offices/One Stop Shops. If you find someone to carry out an exchange with either through HomeSwapper or any other way you must get written permission from the Council (or your own landlord if you are not a tenant of Falkirk Council) before an exchange can take place. If you are a Falkirk Council tenant you can get an application form and a guidance note from one of our local Neighbourhood Offices/One Stop Shops. Our offices also hold a list of other people that want to exchange houses. Please note that written permission is needed from the Council before an exchange can take place. What are Home Seekers, Home Movers and Home Starters? You are a Home Seeker if you are considered homeless in terms of homeless legislation. You are a Home Mover if you are a tenant of Falkirk Council or a tenant of a Housing Association or a Registered Social Landlord (RSL) living in the Council area. All other applicants are Home Starters. Welfare Reform April 2013 The Government changed the welfare benefits system throughout the UK in April 2013. The new rules restrict the size of home you can receive Housing Benefit for based on the number of bedrooms in the house and the number of people living there. If you are bidding for a property through HomeSpot you should bear this in mind. What are the Changes? The new rules restrict the size of property you can receive Housing Benefit for based on the number of people in your household. The rules allow one bedroom for: • a single adult or adult couple (married or not) • any other adult aged 16 or over • any two children of the same sex – aged 10 to 15 • any two children aged under 10 years – mixed or same sex • any other child (other than a foster child whose main home is elsewhere) • a carer (or team of carers) who does not live with you but provides you or your partner with overnight care. If you are a tenant of working age and you have more bedrooms than you need based on the criteria above, your Housing Benefit will be reduced. If you have one extra bedroom your housing benefit will be reduced by 14% of your rent charge and if you have two or more extra bedrooms your housing benefit will be reduced by 25% of your rent charge. In both cases, you will have to pay the difference yourself. If you would like more information abut these changes please phone 01324 503850 or email [email protected] HomeSpot Applicants only able to bid for properties advertised for their applicant group. Applicants are only able to bid for properties that are advertised for the applicant group that you are in. For example, if you are a Home Seeker applicant you will only be able to bid for properties advertised for Home Seekers. The same applies to Home Movers and Home Starters. Properties that have been adapted are advertised as "Adapted" properties. All applicants with a medical recommendation i.e. a "M" after their Band of priority are able to bid for these properties irrespective of whether they are a Seeker, Mover or Starter. Home Seekers that are not bidding for properties If you are a Home Seeker with Band 1 priority and you have not been actively bidding for properties you will be made one offer of housing out with HomeSpot i.e. we will directly match you to a property. If you refuse this offer of housing your priority for homelessness will be removed as the Council will have discharged its duty to you in terms of homeless legislation. Your application group will change from Home Seeker to Home Starter and your housing situation will be reassessed. If you are living in temporary accommodation provided by the Council, you will have to leave this. Home Starters with Band 1 priority for threatened with homelessness All applicants that have been awarded Home Starter Band 1 priority because they are threatened with homelessness within the next 2 months will change to Home Seekers with Band 1 priority with effect from the original date of award. All Groups Advertised Properties ALL applicant groups are eligible to bid on properties that are advertised as All Groups. If the property has been previously advertised as Adapted or Housing With Care Level 3 or with a lettings initiative the qualifying criteria will still be in place for the selection of the successful applicant. If you have children or have access to your children and are ineligible to bid on a 3 bedroom property please contact the Allocations Team on 01324 503200 who will note an interest in the property for you. The Council aims to make the best use of its housing stock; in letting houses, the Council will seek to select applicants whose household size makes best use of the property.
