- A list of proofs required is available on the PPP website under ‘proofs you will need’. You will be able to bid once activated and you must have the correct proofs ready when any offer is made from a Landlord within the scheme.
- Should you be placed in a Priority Banding (A-C) you will be required to provide proof of those circumstances. Applications will only be activated once ALL proofs are received.
- Current and previous Landlord references will be requested upon activation of your application. Please ensure full Landlord contact details are provided when completing your 5 year address history, failure to do so may result in delays with your application.
