Moving in

Should you wish to accept a PSL property, we ask you to bring these documents to your viewing: 

• Two forms of identification such as a passport, driving licence or birth certificate
• Proof of income for the household, including earnings, any benefits and if you have any savings or property
• If there are adult non-dependants in your household, proof of their income or benefit status
• Proof of childcare costs
• Proof of residency if you are not a UK National - for example your passport, visa or resident's permit 

 

What are PSL properties like?

All PSL properties are privately owned and usually one or two-bedroom furnished flats. Furnishings generally include:

• Living room - sofa, coffee table, dining table and chairs
• Kitchen - cooker (with oven and hob), fridge freezer and wall, base and sink units 
• Bedroom - bed, mattresses, fabric bed base, wardrobe and a set of drawers
• Bathroom - bath or shower, wash-hand basin, toilet and a storage area

You will have to provide any personal belongings, bed linen, towels and kitchen utensils.

 

Moving in to your PSL tenancy

When you move in don't forget to:
