Homemove gives you more choice about where you want to live and a better idea about the number and type of properties that become available in your area. To bid you must be a member of Homemove, which means you must have registered on the transfer or housing register in your area. To get further information on how to do this you can call your local council or see the application details on the homemove website. The scheme covers both general needs and sheltered housing, whether you are a current council or housing association tenant seeking a transfer or a homeseeker applying for housing for the first time. Available properties are advertised in this freesheet and at www.homemove.org.uk. You look at the adverts and decide whether you want to be considered for any of the properties. You can then bid for the properties you are interested in. Remember, you can only bid either for properties in the section of the magazine you are registered in, or properties in the Cross Boundary section, which is at the back of the magazine. You can make bids over the internet, by phone, by special coupons and by text message. More detailed information on bidding is available at the back of this freesheet. You must bid to get a new home. For further information see the scheme user guide, or go to www.homemove.org.uk. Occasionally, your council may need to withdraw advertised properties from the Homemove Scheme. This could happen for a variety of reasons, for example the existing tenant decided not to move, or the property needed unforeseen repairs. If this happens to a property you have bid for then we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

You can ask your council or your landlord if any of these circumstances apply to you. Can I bid for properties in an area I’m not registered in? Yes, sometimes. If a council opens up a property to bids from people registered in other areas, they will advertise it as a ‘cross boundary property’. When available these will appear at the bottom of the list of properties you can see when you log into the website or on your printed property list, if you receive one. You can bid on these properties in the normal way if they match your assessed need. Is the property available to homeseekers, transfers, or both? Most properties will be available for both homeseekers and transfer applicants, and the adverts will display the ‘H/T’ icon. But if you do see an advert with a ‘H’ or a ‘T’ icon, this means only homeseekers (‘H’) or transfer applicants (‘T’) can bid. Your bid will not count, for example, if you are a Homeseeker and you bid on a property advertised only for transfer applicants. Is there an age restriction on some properties? Yes. Some properties have a minimum age requirement, for example in some schemes for older people. If an age restriction icon appears on the advert (see page 3) you can only bid on these properties if you are in that age range. Some properties have a mobility group This is intended to provide a guide to people who have different levels of mobility need. Priority will usually be given to those who have a need for this type of property. The mobility groups are explained on page 3. Pets Some landlords will not allow you to keep a cat or a dog unless the property has its own garden. If you have a pet, please check with the landlord. Before you bid for a property: Check out the location of the property on a map to make sure it’s really a place you would consider moving to, and make sure you meet the criteria stated in the advert. Circumstances where you may not be invited to view a property: • you are in rent arrears • you have been involved in anti-social behaviour • in exceptional circumstances eg: where the offer would conflict with the objectives to ensure offers are sensitively made and that properties are let quickly. You can ask at your housing office if any of these circumstances apply to you. You can also ask your council to review the decision to exclude you from the scheme at any time. What sort of tenancy will I be granted? If you are Homeseeker being offered a council property at social rent, your council may offer you a secure tenancy straight away, or they may offer you an introductory tenancy to start with. An introductory tenancy is a 12-month trial period during which your council or housing association will make sure that new tenants act responsibly and follow the conditions of the tenancy agreement. If there are no problems during the trial period, the introductory tenancy automatically becomes a secure tenancy. Introductory tenants who transfer within the introductory period will remain introductory tenants for the remainder of the 12 months. (Contact your council to find out what sort of tenancy they would offer you). Everyone being offered a housing association property, whether homeseeker or transfer applicant, will normally be offered an assured tenancy with the association. Affordable Rented properties The Government has introduced a new and more flexible form of social housing, known as Affordable Rent, which will be offered by housing associations on some of the properties advertised through Homemove. These properties will be advertised with rents set at no more than 80% of the local market rent. Tenants who bid and are successful on these types of properties will be offered a flexible tenancy which will last for a minimum of five years. Please make sure you look carefully at the advert before you bid to see what type of tenancy is being offered. In the banner in each advert it will say ‘Affordable Rent’ or ‘Social Rent’. If you have any questions about a property you can contact the landlord of the property; contact details are on pages 2-3 of the scheme guide and on the website, www.homemove.org.uk. issue 250 l homemove magazine l 22 www.homemove.org.uk General information Bid deadline All bids for properties must be made by 2pm on the closing date shown on the front of each edition of the Homemove magazine. Bids received after this time will not be considered eligible. Need help bidding? You can contact your local council, or your housing association, who will be able to help and advise you on how to make your bids and talk you through the bidding process (see contact details on page 2-3). A version of this scheme user guide is available on request in other formats, and a short version is available translated into the main community languages.
