We generally allocate house sizes according to the number of people in the household.

Renton is a very popular area in which to live.  The Association has a very high demand for its houses but has usually only very limited turnover.  Given this, it could be some time before the Association is able to make you an offer.

The Association has a Nominations Agreement with West Dunbartonshire Council, whereby 50% of our net properties available for let, are given to the Council, to provide nominations.  It is important that you complete a housing application form with them, as this will significantly improve the likelihood of re-housing via Cordale.

If your circumstances change, you must let us know immediately.  We will review your application at least once a year to ensure your information is correct and that you are still interested in housing with Cordale Housing Association.

YOU MUST REPLY TO OUR REVIEW EVEN IF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE NOT CHANGED.  IF YOU DO NOT REPLY, WE MAY REMOVE YOUR APPLICATION FROM OUR HOUSING LIST.

You can download the full policy from our downloads section click here.  If you need more information or advice, please do not hesitate to contact a member of staff at our office. 

The Association endeavors to operate its allocation system in a consistent and demonstrably fair way.  However the Association also has clear procedures for dealing with appeals or complaints arising from the allocations process.  Full details of the Complaints Policy and Procedure is available at the top of this page.  You can also contact us by telephone, email or letter and ask for this to be sent to you.
