Housing Options

5. Choice Based Lettings

We are currently developing our choice based lettings services. When it is fully released, eligible people and families in need of housing will get more information and control and will be able to make informed choices at each step. Registered users will be able to bid for homes through a variety of channels, e.g. via the internet, automated phone and text etc.

Once it is launched and you have registered, you obtain your User ID and PIN and then you will be able to discover a range of information about properties available, see them on maps, check your bid position and review your bidding history.

The scheme aims to give applicants on our Housing Register more say in where they wish to live. We will widely advertise vacancies, including in the local newspapers and on this website.

Once launched, if you are interested in any of the vacancies, you will need to let us know by 'making a bid'. In order to make a bid you need to be registered on our Active Housing Register and you will need to know your User ID number and PIN. Your User ID and PIN will be provided by our Housing Assessment team.
