Register for housing
Council homes letting data
We receive many questions from households wanting to join the Council's Housing Register. This includes enquiries about the type of properties we have and how many are let each year.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council had a total stock of 5,755 as at 31 March 2025. This figure changes monthly due to:
- purchases made under the Right to Buy Scheme
- the acquisition or building of new properties
We currently own:
- 2,649 flats (46.03% of our total stock)
- 905 bungalows (15.73%)
- 2,201 houses (38.25%)
In 2024-25, we let 316 homes as follows:
- 180 flats (56.96% of all lets)
- 69 bungalows (21.84%)
- 67 houses (21.20%)
The availability of homes varies but we have considerably more lets in flats than houses or bungalows. We have many requests for larger properties but as a Council we have a limited number of 4, 5 and 6 bedroom properties and only a handful become vacant in any year.
