Applying for housing

Rented housing

Hanover - along with Bield and Trust Housing Associations - is part of a joint housing register called SHOP. It operates like a common housing register and all applications for sheltered, very sheltered, amenity and general needs housing are dealt with through SHOP.

You can obtain an application pack from any of our area offices.

Once you have filled the application pack in, you can then return it to any area office.

You only require one application to apply for housing with one, two or all three of the housing associations involved with SHOP. So, if you have already submitted an application to Bield or Trust Housing Associations, you do not need to fill in another one. Your Hanover choice of developments can be included in that application.

You may qualify for benefits that could help you with the cost of renting one of our properties. The Government have a useful online benefits calculator that can help you find what you may be entitled to.

Owner occupied housing

Hanover builds and manages owner occupied housing across Scotland. We do not market the properties ourselves and you cannot apply to purchase these properties through our website, although some sellers do choose to advertise their properties on this website. Find out more >

Please note there are likely to be more properties in Hanover-managed developments for sale than those featured via this link and we recommend you contact a solicitor or estate agent if you are interested in purchasing a retirement property.
