These Homes (NES) gives applicants greater choice and control in the process of finding a home. Allocation is based on those who have expressed an interest in the property, with priority given to the household which makes the best use of it and has the highest level of housing need. Operated in the North East jointly by Castlehill, Sanctuary Scotland Housing Association and Hillcrest Homes, These Homes will advertise all available properties on its website for these landlords every two weeks.
If you have any queries or need support to complete the registration process you can contact us on 01224 628119 or TheseHomesNES@castlehillha.co.uk
