What is Choice Based Letting?

Some Partners operate a Choice-based letting system, which allows applicants to choose the houses for which they wish to be considered.

Available properties are advertised on a weekly basis, and you bid for places where you would like to live and which are suitable for you (for example, you can't bid for properties which are too big or too small for your family). 

Household needs are considered when selecting who would be given the offer of a house and if more than one household with the same level of need bids for the same property, the offer will usually be made to the person who has been waiting the longest.

Some people may also have special priority, for example, because they are homeless or have health problems.

What is Housing Options?

Some of the GHR Landlords use Housing Options Interviews to better understand your housing needs and aspirations. 

This is an approach which offers personal advice to anyone who may need housing advice or assistance.  It aims support you if you feel you are struggling to stay in your current home, to help you make informed choices about your housing options/future and to prevent you from becoming homeless.

Housing Options Interviews look at your individual circumstances; your housing and personal needs and choices.  This will include any support needs or other specific needs you tell us about.  We will help you to consider access to Social Housing (Housing Associations), the Private Rented Sector, Ownership Options, Homelessness services and consider support to help you remain in your current home.

A Housing Options interview will take approximately 45 minutes and we will offer solutions tailored to your personal needs.
