Common Housing Register applications (CHR)

If you are interested in living in one of our homes you must register with Living Merthyr Tydfil.  The Local Authority run the Common Housing Register which is how homes are allocated. If you would like to apply for social housing, you MUST visit www.livingmerthyrtydfil.org.uk and:

Register on the site (button to the top right of the home page) this takes about 5 minutes; then complete a Housing Registration Application – where you provide all relevant information about your household. This takes between 30 and 40 minutes.
Please do this as soon as possible as the information you provide as part of your application may need to be validated. This can take time, and until complete – you will not be active on the system and hence cannot apply/bid for properties. If you have any issues using the service, please contact Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council on 01685 725000.
