Frequently Asked Questions

What are LA Flex application councils and how do they work?

LA Flex application councils are English councils that accept direct ECO4 applications through their own criteria set via Statements of Intent (SoI). These councils offer more flexible income thresholds and faster processing than standard ECO4 routes.

How do I find if my council accepts LA Flex applications?

Use our council search tool above to find your local council. We maintain up-to-date information on all English councils with confirmed active LA Flex schemes based on their published Statements of Intent.

What is a council Statement of Intent (SoI)?

A Statement of Intent is a formal document published by councils outlining their LA Flex application criteria and eligibility requirements. Each SoI has a version number and expiry date, and councils must have an active SoI to accept LA Flex applications.

Why do some councils charge administrative fees for LA Flex applications?

Some councils charge administrative fees (typically £120-£250 + VAT per declaration) to cover LA Flex application processing costs. This fee structure is set by individual councils and varies by local authority.

What does 'delegated through' mean for some London councils?

Some London councils delegate their LA Flex application processing to neighboring councils. For example, Greenwich, Lambeth, and Newham councils all delegate their applications through Lewisham Council's Statement of Intent.

How often is the council LA Flex data updated?

Our council database is regularly updated based on published council Statements of Intent and official council communications. However, we recommend confirming current LA Flex status directly with your council before applying.

Data sourced from official council Statement of Intent documents and verified LA Flex application council participation records. Covers confirmed English councils with active ECO4/GBIS LA Flex application schemes.

Important: Always verify current status and eligibility criteria directly with your council before applying, as council Statements of Intent can be updated or withdrawn.
