Council housing

The council owns over 5,000 properties, mainly in the Salisbury and South Wiltshire area, which are rented to tenants. We provide services to tenants including housing-maintenance and dedicated neighbourhood officers and sheltered housing.

If you are interested in becoming a council tenant, you will need to have a housing need under the council's  Allocation Policy (opens new window), either-

• being homeless or sleeping rough or
• being statutorily overcrowded (lacking 3 bedrooms) or
• lacking sufficient space for children or a disabled person or
• suffering domestic abuse or harassment or
• having a welfare or medical need to move e.g. home physically unsuitable or
• unable to meet one's own essential living costs e.g. rent, Council Tax, food, heating, clothing or
• home presently unsuitable for another reason

Pension age applicants with support needs without any of the above needs are admitted to the Housing Register.
