New tenants help

Getting the keys to your new Wheatley Homes South home is an exciting time – but there is a lot to think about.

Finding a home, a new job and many other aspects of life can seem challenging when starting out in a new home or location.

Help is at hand – Wheatley Homes South has compiled this information about everything from registering to vote to getting help finding furniture. It is our hope that this information should help make settling in a little easier.  We have ensured, where possible, these links reflect the needs and questions of tenants living in, or moving to, Dumfries and Galloway.

*Ex-service personnel may find these links helpful/of special interest.
