Letting our Homes
We helped 495 customers, and their families move into their new home, which is an increase from last year of 17 households. On average costing £2845.75 to prepare each home.
Demand for housing remains high with 1365 applicants on the Councils Housing Register at March 2023.
We received 4701 enquiries through the Homefinder website from customers making enquiries about moving home - www.westlancshomefinder.co.uk. This is an increase of 353 enquiries from the previous year.
We created 101 furnished tenancies to support new tenants set up in their home.
172 of our tenants moved home through a transfer and 12 via a mutual exchange.
94% of housing applications are made online, which is the same as last year and we continue to support those who are unable to access the service digitally, by offering help to apply over the telephone or in person.
We had 446 tenancies ending in the year with an average tenancy lasting 10.3 years.
The main reasons why tenancies were ended:
24% moved to another council home
26% deceased
13% moved to private accommodation
8% moved into a care facility
4% moved to other social landlord homes
8% moved to live with family/friends
