Your Housing Preferences 


We use the information in this section to make sure that we contact you about the properties that will be most suitable for you.

The more flexible you are about where you are willing to live and your timescale for moving, the more likely we are able to match you with a property.

We want to create safe, thriving communities in our shared properties and vet all potential guardians carefully.

Your chances of being matched to a property are higher if you can move quickly.

In all of our properties you could receive 28 days notice at any point, although on average we have properties under management for around 6-12 months. If you are particularly interested in staying somewhere for a short period (i.e. 3 months or less), tick yes.



We treat everyone as individual applicants who pay individual fees, even if you are a couple, so please select as appropriate and enter the email address(es) of those you are planning to live with and we'll send them a link to get their application started.

















Your Financial Situation


As a Dot Dot Dot property guardian, you will need to pay a refundable security payment (the equivalent of five weeks' fees), a licence fee of between £300 and £900 per month (depending on the location and property), plus utilities and council tax in most cases.



If you will be using savings for your licence fee, we suggest that you have at least six months’ worth of savings at the point of signing your licence agreement.




We ask for this at this stage to verify the information you have given above. Should you be matched with a property, we will ask you to submit your most recent bank statements again at that point. Please upload as one file if you can. If you need more boxes - see below.

Your move on plan


During your time as a guardian, we ask you to keep us updated on your move-on plan, should we need to give you 28 days’ notice to move out. We always try to re-house our guardians where possible, but we cannot guarantee this. An up-to-date move-on plan keeps us informed of what your plans would be should we give you notice.





E.g. private rental, other guardianships, move in with family/ friends.

Your Volunteering Interests


By providing you with safe, well-managed and affordable homes, we can help you to free up some of your time and energy and spend it leading the life you want to live and contributing to causes you care about.

All Dot Dot Dot property guardians volunteer for at least 16 hours a month for a good cause of their choice while they are housed with us. This can be something you do already or something you’ve wanted to do but haven’t had the opportunity.
