More about Homechoice

Homechoice in Oxfordshire

Homechoice South Oxfordshire is part of a partnership between four Councils in Oxfordshire and a large number of their housing association partners. By coming together to form Oxfordshire Homechoice, we are able to offer those looking for an affordable home, a much wider choice of housing and an easier way of being considered for vacant properties as they arise. List of partners

More choice over housing offers

Using the Homechoice service gives you more choice in deciding where you want to live.  Instead of waiting for an offer of accommodation by one of the partners you can see which properties are coming vacant and ask to be put forward for them. Properties that are available for rent and shared ownership will be advertised every fortnight.

You then tell us which properties you are interested in. We call this ‘bidding' but it wont cost you a penny.  Before you can bid for a property you must be accepted onto the Homechoice register. How to apply.

A wider choice of areas

If you are interested in moving to a neighbouring council area you can to bid for a selection of properties in the Oxford City, Cherwell and Vale of White Horse districts. You will be able to bid for these properties without having to apply directly to these other councils.

Help with looking at other solutions

Not everyone will be successful in getting a social rented home. At the moment we have an eight year waiting list. This website has useful information to help you decide how else to look for a suitable home. Click for Housing Options.
