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.
