You can view and bid for all available properties on our HomeChoice website at. We place adverts every week starting at 00.01hrs every Thursday and closing at 24.00hrs the following Tuesday. This gives you six days to place bids. You can place up to five bids on each advert. You should place bids in your order of preference. This is because if you are at the top for more than one property, we will only consider you for the one you bid for first.

Please note – if you are logging into Homechoice for the first time, you will need to set up a password and provide some personal data. You will need to do this from a computer. After your account is set up, you will be able to place bids from a smartphone.
