Devon Home Choice

Devon Home Choice is a choice based lettings scheme that covers the whole of Devon. Council and housing association homes available to let in Devon will be advertised each week (including supported housing) . Once you have registered, you will be able to bid for homes that meet your needs.

The easiest way to join Devon Home Choice and to find out further information about the sceme is to visit their website www.devonhomechoice.com. If you are unable to apply online please contact the local housing team in the area of Devon where you would like to move to. We do have facilities for you to use the internet at our Newton Abbot town centre office. 

Once your application has been processed and accepted you will be given a banding, band start date and details of the size of homes that you will be able to bid for.

Properties are advertised each week on the Devon Home Choice website, in a newsletter which is available at our offices, on digital interactive TV, web enabled mobile phones and on the Nintendo Wii. Homes are advertised from 12.00am on a Wednesday till 11.59pm the following Monday.

At the end of the weekly cycle a list of eligible bids for each home will be produced. It will order applicants by; the band their application has been placed in and then by how long they have been waiting. The landlord of the home will then carry out a number of checks, such as checking your application, rent account and any history of anti-social behaviour. You will be offered an opportunity to view the property before signing any tenancy. If you refuse the home or the landlords rejects your application, they will move onto the next successful bidder.
