Bassetlaw District Council allocates properties using a Choice Based Lettings System called HomeFinder  

Bassetlaw HomeFinder - Updates during Coronavirus outbreak

Change of service

While restrictions are in place to prevent the further spread of Coronavirus, we have changed the way that we allocate our properties, conduct viewings and enable new tenants to move into their homes.

All of our revised practices are conducted in line with Government advice and have been risk assessed to ensure the safety of potential new tenants and our staff.

Looking for a property and bidding

You can view all of the properties that are available each week on this website. We are not currently producing hard copies of our property guides until further notice.

If you have a Homefinder account, you can bid for a property as you normally would. However, at this time we ask that you only bid on a property if you are certain that you would accept the property should your bid be successful.

Allocating properties and viewings

In order to conduct viewings in the safest way possible for tenants and staff, we will be allocating properties and arranging viewings with the highest placed applicants.

Should you wish to view a property, we ask that a maximum of two people from the same household attend the viewing. We cannot permit children under the age of 16 to attend a viewing at this time.

Sign-ups and moving in

Should your bid and viewing be successful and you wish to move into the property, we will contact you by phone and take you through the sign-up process in the same way that we would during a face-to-face interview. This will involve talking through the terms of the tenancy agreement with one of our Allocations Officers and supplying you with other relevant information.

Once the sign-up process is complete we will send the final Tenancy Agreement to you by post, or another agreed safe method, for you to sign and return to us. This can be returned by post, by dropping it off at any of our offices in Worksop, Retford or Carlton Forest, or by arranging collection with our Allocations Officer.

Once this process is complete we will arrange for the collection or delivery of keys and you will be free to move into your new home.

Should you have any further questions about the revised allocations, viewings or sing-up procedures, please contact our Allocations Officers on 0800 590 542.
