Looking for a home with Coast & Country

We've changed the way vacant properties are allocated in Redcar and Cleveland and across the Tees Valley sub-region. The new CBL scheme has replaced the existing allocation scheme.

The new CBL scheme is called COMPASS and has been developed with a partnership of the following councils and housing providers:

Coast & Country, Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, Erimus Housing. Middlesbrough Council, Darlington Borough Council, Tristar Homes, Stockton Borough Council, Housing Hartlepool and Hartlepool Borough Council.

The Compass website is now live and once you are registered on the new scheme you can bid for vacant properties across the Tees Valley area. We have written to all applicants registered on the Compass scheme, giving details of individual log-in details so you can make bids on suitable advertised properties.  

The government have set a target for all local councils and registered social landlords to introduce CBL by 2010. Within Tees Valley, we have developed a common allocation policy and application form, which will make it easier for you to apply for housing across the sub-region. For a copy of the full allocation policy, please click here: Tees Valley common allocation policy.

We have been in regular contact with applicants, sending out the new application form, newsletter and scheme guide in preparation for the launch of the new system. New applicants can get a copy of the Compass application form at any local housing office, or complete the online form by visiting the Compass website.  

The scheme guide covers:

We will issue a copy of the scheme guide to all new applicants and those who have re-registered their application. To get a copy of the scheme guide, please click here .
