How to apply

New residents applying for housing with Magna Housing Association

We work in partnership with local authorities where we have housing stock. They are responsible for letting the properties that we own to new tenants.

If you are not an existing Magna tenant, you should contact the local authority in the area that you wish to live to see if you are eligible to join their housing register:
