How to bid for properties
If you are placed on the Housing Register through Search Moves, you will be able to log in and start bidding on properties.
For more information, you can watch a video on how to log in and place a bid on Search Moves or read about how the scheme works on Search Moves.
How bidding works:
- you can bid all week
- new homes may 'go live' on any day of the week
- once a property is posted online, you can bid for it, as long as you are eligible for that property
- you can set up a 'property alert' to send you an email when a property match comes up
- the bid deadline is usually 5 days after the property first appears
- you need to express an interest in property you are interested in by placing bids
- if you don’t attend 2 booked viewings or refuse 2 properties, it may lead to your application being suspended for a year - this means that you cannot place any bids or be considered for any accommodation
