Bidding explained
Find your new home by visiting our search pages.
You can search by area, or by type of property, or both.
When you view a property's details, you'll see information including:
- Address
- Number of bedrooms
- Property type - such as 'sheltered flat'
- Bid preference - for example 'band four'
- Floor level - such as '1st floor' if it's in a block of flats
- What sort of heating the property has
- The weekly rent
- Who can apply - for example 'Over 60s' for a sheltered flat
- Some local information ('very nice scheme in good area, close to shops and the QMC')
- Landlord - which HomeLink partner is offering the property.
What are the symbols - and what do they mean?
When you search for a new home, you'll see a number of symbols attached to each property.
We use these so you can see at a glance what the property has to offer - such as the number of bedrooms, whether it's a flat and has a lift (or not), does it have a garden or garage, or whether pets are allowed. The symbols also help you if you struggle with English.
