How long will it take to find a home?

There is very high demand for housing in Peterborough, so it may take many months or years before a home that suits your needs becomes available.

Our current average waiting times are:

  • 1 bedroom: 2 years or more
  • 2 bedroom: 3 years or more
  • 3 beroom: 5 years or more
  • 4+ bedroom: 7 years or more 

If you widen the choice of areas you are interested in moving to, you may be able to reduce your waiting time.

You may be able to move sooner through mutual exchange. You can also register your need to move with Peterborough City Council, who may be able to offer you a home.
