Northumberland Homefinder is Northumberland County Council's housing allocation service, delivered in partnership with Homes for Northumberland, Bernicia, Isos Housing and Berwick Borough Housing. If you want to apply for a property that is owned by any of these landlords you need to apply to join Northumberland Homefinder.
To join you need to complete an application form. You can do this online or you can obtain one from any of our offices or you can download one here.
If you need help to complete the application form, you can contact us. Our details are in the How to Contact Us section of the website.
We will use the information you provide in your application to assess your housing need. We will write to you to confirm that we have accepted your application and tell you which priority band we have assigned you. We will also provide you with a Housing Register number and a PIN which you will need to access the service.
Once you are registered, to find out about the properties that we have available click on Property Search at the top of the page. Available properties will be advertised from 00:01 on a Thursday until 23:59 the following Monday. If you see a property you would like to be considered for you will need to "bid".
