What is Nottingham HomeLink?

Nottingham HomeLink is the way for Nottingham City Homes and most housing associations in Nottingham to decide who is offered their empty homes for rent and started on 12th June 2006.

Nottingham HomeLink gives applicants like you more choice in finding a home to rent in Nottingham. If you are registered with the Council or partner housing associations you are asked to place a 'bid' for each property you are interested in. This 'bid' tells us that you would like to be considered for that property. The property will then be offered to the 'bidder' with the highest priority according to the allocations policy.

Empty properties from Nottingham City Homes and partner housing associations will be advertised in various ways and there are a number of different ways that you can bid for properties.

Bidding for a property

• You can make up to 3 bids every week.
• Make sure that you check 'Who can apply' to check you meet the criteria for the property.
• Try to bid for properties advertised in your band as this will improve your chances of getting a property.
