If you live in or are moving to Liverpool or the Wirral, many social landlords advertise their homes through Property Pool Plus. Registering is free.

Key points

  • Register on the Property Pool Plus website and keep your details up to date.
  • Your application is assessed and given a priority. Make sure you give full information and evidence.
  • Browse homes advertised and bid on the ones that suit you. Check the area, size and any restrictions first.
  • If you are offered a home, respond quickly and have your documents ready.
  • Tell the scheme straight away if your circumstances change.

A tip

Ask your support worker to help with the first application and to write a support letter if you have extra needs.
