Welcome to Living Merthyr Tydfil
Welcome to Living Merthyr Tydfil, this site will allow you to register for social housing and view all of the Housing Association properties that are available to rent in Merthyr Tydfil by just completing one on line application form. Properties that are available for rent will be advertised each week and you will be able to bid for these properties once your application has been accepted onto the Living Merthyr Tydfil register.
Did you know that in Merthyr Tydfil there are almost 2200 households currently registered with Living Merthyr Tydfil and the property stock advertised and let is limited. This means that we are not able to offer a home to most people who apply for housing through Living Merthyr Tydfil waiting list and those that are offered housing are likely to have waited a long time to be rehoused.
Unfortunately demand for properties, particularly one bedroom accommodation and larger properties significantly outstrips our supply. Due to the shortage of social housing in Merthyr Tydfil the waiting list is very long and you may not be offered a housing association property. Even people in urgent housing need may have to wait a long time before they are allocated a property.
The length of time a person could be waiting for a property is difficult to predict as this is dependent on your urgency to be housed, the properties that become available and those who are already registered with a priority to be housed.
You may also wish to consider other housing options such as private rented accommodation.
If you are worried about losing your home advice and support can be provided from the Town Centre Hub in Saint Tydfil’s shopping centre.
If you're not sure whether renting a home from a Housing association is the best housing option for you, this website also has lots of information about other type of housing such as renting from a private landlord. Just have a look at the 'Renting a home' tab for more information.
