Bidding statistics

Adam made this Freedom of Information request to Newham Borough Council This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

Dear Newham Borough Council,

I'd like to request some data related to bidding in the borough. Please find my questions below.

1. How many applicants are currently registered to bid in total?
2. How many applicants under the type ‘Homeseeker with priority’ are currently registered to bid?
3. What is the average time taken to house an active bidder?

4. How many bids - on average - are placed per week?
5. How many properties -on average - are available for bidding per week?

As of 2011 or so, there was a change in the priority of when someone is housed.
I.e. those who are in employment are of higher priority.
6. Does this still stand?
7. What is the average time for an employed bidder to be housed vs an unemployed bidder?

Yours faithfully,

Adam

Newham Borough Council
