We ask everyone who is interested in renting a Gannochy Trust house to complete an application form. Every application is assessed and applicants are shortlisted using our criteria. All shortlisted applicants are invited to an interview – this also gives you the chance to find out more about us and ask any questions. The application and the interview help us decide who to offer a tenancy to.
Our Housing List closed at midday on Friday 21st March 2025.
We received over 190 applications for the few homes that we currently have available. We will email the lead contact of each application to confirm receipt of their application by Friday 28th March.
All applications will be assessed and the lead contact will be emailed with news about their progress in the selection process by the end of May 2025.
You can only apply for a house when the list is open. This will be announced on our website. When the Housing List is open, the application form will be available on our website.
We do not keep a list of interested parties to notify when the list is open, so please check this page of the website regularly.
Please note that our sheltered houses are only available to tenants already living in the Gannochy estate and they are not advertised to external applicants.
All applicants must meet the following three criteria to be considered for a tenancy:
- they are currently resident in Perth and Kinross;
- this will be their only residence; and
- they don’t currently own or jointly own another property.
Applications will then be assessed against a further three criteria:
- one or more housing needs, which cannot be met in their current accommodation;
- they have the ability to financially sustain the rental payments, Council Tax, and general costs of the house and garden; and
- they can maintain the house and garden to a satisfactory standard.
We are sorry that our Housing List is not currently open. We have a low turnover of tenants and do not keep a waiting list. When homes become available, we will promote this here on our website, and on our Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. Links for these are at the foot of this page. Our Sheltered Housing is prioritised for our existing tenants and external applications are not commonly invited.
