Property adverts and how to bid for housing

How to bid for housing

If you qualify for the Housing Register, you will be able to express a preference (bid) for vacant social rented properties advertised through My Home Central, our choice-based lettings (CBL) system.

Available properties are advertised weekly from Thursday to Tuesday. Properties you can bid for will be shown on the ‘bid on a property’ page within your My Home Central account.

Choice-based lettings – how it works

Auto-bidding

If you need help with bidding and would like auto bidding where bids are placed on your behalf, please email housingregister@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk.
