New City of Lincoln Allocations Policy

We are required to conduct an annual review of any active application on Lincs Homefinder for housing within the City of Lincoln, known as a renewal 

If you no longer wish to be on the housing register for the City of Lincoln, then please log in to your account and select request closure and enter the reason or alternatively contact housing solutions via 01522 873777 and advise you wish for application to be closed. 

If you wish to remain on the housing register for the City of Lincoln, then you will need to log into your online account and check the information that is stored within your application within the next 14 days.  

To do this: 

• Login to your www.lincshomefinder.co.uk account.  

•  

• 

• A message will display saying ‘Application renewal required’ and a link below this saying ‘Update my details’.  

• 

•  

• Read through each page of your application updating any details that may have changed.  

• Upload documents that support any changes in your situation and then click submit. 

•  

• 

• You will see this message after clicking submit 

• 

•  

• What will happen if I ignore this letter?  

If you do not update and re-submit your application within 14 days of this letter, your application will no longer be eligible to bid for properties in Lincoln, and any current bids may be skipped/bypassed.   

Further correspondence will be sent to you after the initial 14 days has passed, giving you a final 14 days to update your application. Failure to submit all updates will result in your application for the City of Lincoln being closed. 

What do I do if I need assistance to update my application? 

If you are unable to log in and update your application yourself and do not have a family member, friend, or support worker to assist you, then please contact the Housing Solutions Team on 01522 873777 and we will be able to arrange an appointment for you to go through the application. 

Certain changes made will need to be verified and if further information is required, this will be requested from you.
