From noon on Friday 27th June everyone on our housing register - that's over 7500 applicants - will be able to view and place bids on all the Council and RSL vacant properties currently available in the Borough.

If you were on the Housing Register you will already have received a Welcome Pack but if it didn't arrive please call us on 01202 451467 and we'll get one sent to you right away.

Take a look at the new website www.dorsethomechoice.org where you will find the vacant properties list and instructions on how to bid. You'll also be able to log into your own account - just follow the instructions on the website or in the user guide to see how to do this. There is a helpful animated guide if you follow the link "How to Bid" which takes you through the bidding process.

You can also get information and help from all 12 of Bournemouth's libraries - again follow the links on the website to find your nearest branch.
