Home Choice Reading

The Council uses a 'Choice Based Lettings' scheme to allocate vacant Council and Housing Association properties to applicants on the Reading Housing Register - our scheme is called Homechoice at Reading.

With this scheme:

  • We advertise the properties becoming available
  • Applicants can check the ads and let us know which properties they want to be considered for (known as bidding)
  • Properties are allocated to the bidder with the highest priority for housing
  • We publish a summary of how properties are let so everyone can see the process is fair

Although Homechoice at Reading offers greater choice to people on the Housing Register it does not mean that we have more homes available - the reality is that there are far more people waiting for housing than there are properties available.
