Welcome to Waverley Homechoice, Waverley Borough Councils new way of allocating council and partner housing association properties for rent.
We aim to give you more choice in deciding where you want to live. Properties that are available for rent will be advertised each week from midnight Wednesday through to midnight Sunday - known as the bidding cycle.
You must then tell us which properties you are interested in. This process is known as bidding. You may only bid for a property if your application has been accepted onto our housing register. For details on how to apply, go to Housing Register.
Bids are ranked according to your priority on the housing register. It makes no difference when you choose to bid within the bidding cycle.
Important information for those bidding for properties:
1. Please be aware that when we advertise properties they are usually still occupied by the current tenant. Photographs will not always be of the actual property and are for guidance purposes only. If you decide to go to the particular road in which properties are advertised, please respect the privacy of tenants. The Council reserves the right to overlook bids from applicants who do not respect the privacy of our tenants or the tenants of our housing association partners. Thank you for your co-operation.
2. Please think carefully about the property that you are bidding for. Is it in an area you will move to? Can you see yourself living there?
3. Please ensure that we have your current telephone number and that your telephone takes incoming calls.
4. Remember: If your bid is successful you will be invited to view the property within office hours and this can be at short notice. It is likely that you will be given less than 2 weeks notice to move.
5. Offers will not be made, or will be withdrawn, if you have rent arrears in a private rented, Council or Housing Association tenancy or if you have other unpaid housing related debts with the Council or other social landlord.
