Bidding cycle running from 20th - 25th October 2023

Please note that the adverts for 2 bedroom properties at Pound Crescent & Willow Close do in fact only have 2 bedroom and not 3 as originally advertised.  This has now been amended.

We apologise for any confusion caused. 

We have withdrawn the advert for Mole Valley Place which was on this weeks bidding cycle.  This is due to an error with the advert which may have prevented some people from expressing an interest in the property.  It will be readvertised in the next bidding cycle from 25 August 2023.  We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Bookham United Charities - Frere Cottages, Flint Close, Bookham. KT23 4SE.

We have withdrawn the 1st floor studio flat that was being advertised on the bidding cycle running from 21st - 26th April 2023.

This is likely to be re-advertised on the next bidding cycle.  If you might be interested in applying for this property, please check the advert which will appear on the Home Choice website.

Vacancies in Rural Settlements or Villages: -

The Council has determined that for a local connection to be established to a parish council or rural electoral ward the applicant must provide written evidence that

• they live in the parish council area or rural electoral ward and have done  so for the last five years; or
• their place of paid employment is in the parish council area or rural electoral ward for more than 16 hours per week for the last five years; or
• they were born and brought up in the parish council area or rural electoral ward for eighteen years, but now live elsewhere; or
• they have close family, defined as parents, siblings and or adult children, who have lived in the parish council area or rural electoral ward as their main place of residence for the last consecutive ten years; or
• they have special circumstances through which a local connection has been established with the parish council area or rural electoral ward. This will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the Housing Options Manager, who will make a decision on whether a connection has been established.
