Applying for housing with Bron Afon

Looking to apply for housing? Then why not register with the Homeseeker Scheme, which offers an internet based system that is quick and easy to use.

The Homeseeker Scheme is a partnership between Bron Afon Community Housing, Torfaen County Borough Council, Melin Homes, Charter Housing Association, Hafod Housing Association and Linc Cymru.

This means you only have to fill in one form (either online or via application form available from the offices of all the partners mentioned above) to apply for a home with any of these landlords. Applicants are placed in bands according to the level of housing need based on the information on their application form.

Using Homeseeker means you can:

  • See what homes are available.
  • Bid for the homes.
  • See what homes have previously been let.
  • See where you are ‘in the queue’ for a particular home that you have bid for.

You can also apply using paper coupons which are available at Bron Afon offices, offices of the other partners and the Council's Customer Care Centres. There is also an automated telephone system for bidding.
