Find a home : About choice based lettings
Choice-Based Lettings (CBL) replaces the traditional way of allocating housing under which Housing Associations seek to match applicants who have priority on their waiting list to vacant properties.
 
CBL allows applicants and existing tenants seeking a move, to apply for available properties which are advertised widely for example in the local newpaper or on our website.
 
Applicants can see the full range of available properties and can bid (ie apply) for any home to which they are matched (eg a single person would not be eligable for a three-bedroom house).  The successful bidder is the one with the highest priority under the scheme.  Authorities provide feedback that help applicants to asess their chances of subsequent applications.
 
Currently Cosmopolitan Housing Association work with 5 local authorities who operate CBL, these are:

Further changes are taking place on how CBL operates in 2010, with 5 local authorities forming one sub regional CBL group.  The 5 local authorities part of this group are Liverpool, Halton, Knowsley, Wirral and Sefton.  Further details regarding these changes will be available once consultation has taken place within these local authorities.
