Welcome to Northumberland Homefinder

For Latest News and information about properties that might be available soon click here

Northumberland Homefinder is a new way to find a home in Northumberland.  Our aim is to offer you choice about where you live and the type of house you live in. 

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".  To bid you will need to be registered with our service.

To register, you will need to fill in an application form.  You can obtain one from any of our offices or you can download one from 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 bid.

Our website contains lots of useful information to help you find a suitable home.  You can use this website to:

Did you know............????                            A Mutual Exchange is where you swap your home with someone who wants to swap theirs.  This might increase your chances of moving - especially if you would like a bigger property than we could allocate you through our choice based lettings scheme.  For more information click here.
