Applying For Housing (Rented Or Shared Ownership)

Since June 2012 there has been a new way of applying to all housing providers in the North East (with the exception of Aberdeen City Council).

Apply4Homes is an online system designed to allow applicants access to the online application.  There is also general information about the properties of each housing provider and useful links.

The new system replaces the previous methods of applying.

Applying for rented housing

All rented housing applications should now be made via www.apply4homes.org.uk. The online application will also give you the opportunity of applying to: 

Aberdeenshire Council
Aberdeenshire Housing Partnership 
Hanover (Scotland) Housing Association
Homehunt (Castlehill Housing Association & Tenants First)
Langstane Housing Association
The Moray Council
Moray Housing Partnership

Grampian Housing Association applicants will be able to apply for housing for our own stock in Aberdeen City. 

If you are homeless or threatened with homeless please apply directly to the local authority who will provide advice and assistance to you.

House Exchange

If you are a tenant of one of the apply4homes partners (see list above) you may also want to consider registering with House Exchange (www.apply4homes.houseexchange.org.uk).  This free online database advertises properties of tenants who want to move and who are willing to consider a mutual exchange with another tenant.  This gives you access to nationwide mutual exchanges.  The Association has certain criteria which must be met. 

Applying for shared ownership housing

To apply for shared ownership housing you should complete our online application for rented housing via www.apply4homes.org.uk and also contact our Customer Service Team (T: 01224 202900 / E: apply@grampianhousing.co.uk) to request a shared ownership application form.  Please note that the shared ownership application form must be completed and returned in addition to submitting your online application for rented housing.
