Bid for a Council House

Bidding for a Council house has never been easier.

With More Choice in Lettings you are able to bid for a property of your choice from the weekly adverts online and in the More Choice in Lettings magazine. A bid's success depends on a person's priority rating and how long they've been on the housing register.

With this system the Council acts a little like an estate agent because they advertise Council homes that are available to rent.

Special features

If you are disabled or have restricted mobility you can request a magazine. Once you are on the housing register you will be placed in a particular group. Knowing your group will help you choose what property you want to bid for and help you judge your chances of success.

You can bid for a property by calling an automated telephone line, over the internet or using a touch screen computer at a kiosk in your local housing office.
