Find the right reporting bucket.
Application figures can be published by town and flat type, sometimes combining multiple projects. Category-specific rates can differ substantially. Keep the official grouping intact when you compare your options.
- Match the exercise, town, flat type and applicant category.
- Check whether the rate is provisional or final.
- Do not split combined figures into invented project-level rates.
A rate describes demand, not your result.
The published rate compares applications and the relevant supply allocation. It is not a personal ballot probability. Priority schemes, allocation rules, queue outcomes, withdrawals and the flats remaining at an appointment affect the eventual experience.
- A low headline rate is not an offer of a flat.
- A queue number does not reserve a unit.
- Use the official result and appointment service for your own application.
Give yourself a next step.
While waiting, prepare documents, understand the selection process and discuss what your household would do if the application is unsuccessful. Neighbours can share the wait, but another person’s result or appointment does not establish yours.
