We will set criteria on our property adverts which will determine who can bid for the property.  We do this to make sure that we make the best use of the properties we have available.  For example, if we are advertising a property which has lots of stairs leading to it, we will set up the advert so that only people who can manage stairs can bid for it, or if we are advertising a property that has been adapted for wheelchair users, we will set up the advert so that wheelchair users are considered first.   

Our adverts will clearly state the criteria we have set and you can bid for any properties that meet your needs and that you meet the criteria for.    

Applicants will be classified as either a Home Mover or a Home Seeker:  

• Home Movers are tenants of Queens Cross Housing Association who are looking to move to another property

• Home Seekers are applicants who do not currently live in a Queens Cross Housing Association property but would like to apply for a home with us

When we advertise each property, we will say whether it is for Home Movers, Home Seekers or both categories.  We do this so that we can make sure that different applicant types get a fair chance of being made an offer.
