Waverley Borough Council

Housing Options

Due to a shortage of Council or Housing Association homes in the Waverley area, there are far more households seeking homes than are available.

You could face a very long wait before you bid successfully and the sad reality is that many people on the Housing Register may never receive an offer of accommodation at all.

This means that you may well have to think about alternative housing options, like renting privately or staying at home with your family for longer than you had intended. We hope that we can give you the advice and support that you need to help you decide which housing option is right for you.

Have a look though the housing options available for you to consider below.
