How to bid for a property

You can bid (apply) for a property:

  • On the ELLC Choice Homes website
  • By calling 0845 650 4125 (at local rate)
  • By text on 0778 148 6526 (messages are charged at the standard rate).

You will need your housing register application number (unique reference number) to make a bid.

You will find this on the letter we sent you to confirm your place on the housing register. It can be found at the top right-hand corner, just below the date. It follows some letters and a forward slash.

If your details have changed

You must make sure that you update your housing application as soon as possible if there are any changes to the information you have previously provided.
