New Build Homes

Some weeks, there may be no homes available in this advert. Please check weekly. 

 

Some newly built affordable homes in the Vale of Glamorgan are allocated through Homes4U. It helps make sure homes are allocated fairly by balancing housing need with local connections to the area.

 

These homes may include flats, houses and other affordable housing developments provided by housing associations and partner organisations.

 

Applicants with a local connection to the area may be given priority for some developments. However, all eligible Homes4U applicants are encouraged to apply as properties may be offered through later stages of the allocation process.

 

To apply for a new build home, you must be registered with Homes4U:

Available Properties

When new build homes become available, details will be published below.

 

There are no available properties this week. Please view the Homes4U advert.

 

How are new build homes allocated?

New build homes are allocated using the Cascade Approach.

 

Applications are considered based on:

  • Housing need
  • Priority band
  • Registration date
  • Any local connection criteria that apply to the development

Applicants with an adapted housing priority will take precedence when a suitable adapted property becomes available, regardless of local connection.

 

Details of the allocation process for each development will be included within the Site Specific information pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I apply if I do not have a local connection?

    Yes.

     

    Applicants with a local connection are considered first, but all eligible applicants are encouraged to apply. If a property is not allocated at an earlier stage of the Cascade Approach, it may be offered to applicants without a local connection.

  • How are local connection areas decided? 
    Local connection areas are based on Community Council boundaries. The area used for a development will be shown when the property is advertised.
  • How are properties advertised? 

    Properties available through the Cascade Approach are advertised on Homes4U under the New Builds section.

     

    You must be registered with Homes4U before applying.

     

    When applying, you should have your registration reference number and banding information available.

  • How is my local connection verified? 

    If you are shortlisted for a property, the Housing Strategy team will contact you to confirm your details and explain what evidence you need to provide.

     

    Once your local connection has been verified, your application details will be passed to the relevant housing association.

     

    If you cannot provide evidence to support your local connection, any offer of accommodation may be withdrawn.
