Customers not yet registered with Homes4Wiltshire

In light of the high demand for social rented homes, our team will wish to explore whether circumstances in the present home can be improved to enable the customer to remain there.  Whilst we administer the council's choice-based lettings scheme, we can give advice about alternatives too.  At present, the demand on the service is high in light of the continuing coronavirus pandemic.  We are all experiencing similar pressure and wish to work with you to achieve the best possible housing circumstances for your customer whether it is social rented housing or another solution.

To contact us, please click this text for our professional inquiries page (opens in a new tab).  We seek to respond within 3 working days.  If the matter is more urgent, please call 0300 456 0104, 9.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday.  We will automatically record your details, subject to the council's data protection responsibilities, on the file of the customer concerned.  If you have any questions about our use of data, please click this text for our Privacy Policy.

Please note that if a customer with capacity is homeless or threatened with homelessness within 56 days, and you believe they are not known to the council, it is important to contact the council’s homelessness service in the first instance under the Duty to Refer using the Duty to Refer Form.  If you have a homeless customer without capacity for whom you are seeking housing assistance, please follow the link to the professional inquiries page above.
