Welcome to Homesearch.
Homesearch is a partnership between Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe Borough Councils. We have worked together to introduce a Choice Based Lettings scheme to advertise homes available for rent and shared ownership within the three areas.
Why not try the new Housing Options wizard and find out about other options that may be suitable for you?
Homesearch is very different from the old way of allocating social housing. Available properties will be advertised every week on the online property shop, and in public places such as council offices and libraries.
You can then express an interest (or “bid”) for properties that meet your needs. The person with the greatest housing need who bids for a property will be offered it. In this way, Homesearch gives you more choice about where you live.
There are many ways to bid for properties, including via the website, in person at the council offices, by post, or by telephone and text. We can also support you to do this. Each "bidding cycle" starts at midnight on Thursday, and closes at midnight the following Wednesday. You cannot place a bid on Wednesdays.
If you need assistance to use Homesearch, please see the Forms and Information section for easy-to-read user guides. If you require further assistance, please contact us by selecting the How to Contact Us section.
Please note that there are far more people looking for homes through Homesearch than we can help, so you might like to consider the alternatives to waiting for a social rented home. Please use the Housing Options wizard to find more information on the choices available to you.
