*** Please be aware of the news item regarding the new 'Parsons Mead' development and the update regarding pets ***
Mole Valley Homechoice is the way Mole Valley District Council allocates social housing. We aim to give you more choice in deciding where you want to live. Properties that are available for rent will be advertised every week from each Thursday at midnight to the following Wednesday at midnight.
You must then tell us which properties you are interested in. This process is known as bidding. You may only bid for a property if your application has been accepted onto our housing register. To apply to join the housing register please click here.
For the latest news about Mole Valley Homechoice and housing partners in the district please scroll down to the 'Recent News' section.
Our website is also packed with useful information to help you find you a suitable home. You can use this website to:
- Apply for social housing *NEW*

Search for available properties

Apply for a property
- View results of previous lettings
- View properties available in the Private Rented Sector through HomeChoice PLUS *NEW*

26/05/2011NEW ALLOCATIONS POLICY AND BANDSThe Councils new housing allocation policy is now live. The new policy introduces a number of changes to the way that applicants are prioritised for housing, including the change from points to bandings. For more details about these changes and how the banding is calculated a copy of the new allocations policy can be downloaded by clicking HERE. If you are on the housing register and would like to see what your new banding is you can do this by accessing the HomeChoice webpages with your registration number and then accessing My Social Housing on the left-hand side of the page. We have attempted to ensure that all applicants have been correctly banded. If you feel, after looking at the band and the new allocations policy that your application has been incorrectly banded, please contact one of the HomeChoice Officers on one of the following numbers 01306 879197 / 870638 / 879396 / 879142 with the reason that you feel this is the case. Alternatively you can email us through your HomeChoice page. We will not be sending all housing register applicants a letter confirming their banding due to the costs of this exercise and the fact that the information is available through the HomeChoice site.
