Bidding on a property
If you have been accepted onto our housing register, you will receive a housing register activation and bidding advice email which confirms your unique TMBC reference number, band, band reason, priority date and bedroom need. You will also receive information on how to bid and the importance of notifying us of any change in your circumstances.
All housing association partners will advertise homes that are available to let in our borough through Kent Homechoice, and each property will be available for applicants to place bids on for a minimum period of 5 days. Every advert will show the bidding closure date and you will have until the end of this date to bid for the home. The adverts will also give you information about each property such as size, rent, accessibility etc and a photograph will be included.
At any given time, you can place as many bids as you wish on properties being advertised that meet your households needs.
You can bid in the following ways:
- On the internet - Sign in and follow the instructions on screen.
- Auto Bidding - If you would like to have bids placed for you automatically without you having to log in you can contact us and ask for auto bidding to be set up for you.
- Staff assistance – by contact our Customer Service Team on 01732 844522.
