    Hi I have just received a leaflet re choice based letting with the council. The leaflet isn't really informative as to are these council houses, ie are you renting from the council or a private landlord and how long is the lease. It says you will be offered your preferred area and house type. I haven't heard of this scheme before. Does anybody have any information of n this scheme? I think this is new to cork. Thanks

    Basically properties are advertised on a website once a week from Friday to Tuesday you'll have to log in using a pin code .
    The council and or private housing groups will post details of properties your entitled to in my case it's 2 bed properties .
    You get to see the name and where the property is and how many rooms .type of heating ,front door or garden
    You will then add it to a basket and submit your interest in the property .
    Now depending how long your on the list you might or might not be offered the property .

    Anyone know how quick they contact you after you express an interest to say they will bring you for an interview or you weren't successful ?
