Welcome to Hampshire Home Choice

Hampshire Home Choice is managed by East Hampshire District Council, Havant Borough Council, Test Valley Borough Council and Winchester City Council and advertises all affordable housing in the four Council areas.

Hampshire Home Choice aims to give customers a choice in deciding where they wish to live.  However, customers who are offered but regularly refuse properties may have their application suspended.  For further details see the Hampshire Home Choice Allocations Framework  where the four Councils' allocations policies are explained in detail.

Registered Providers (RPs) and Winchester City Council properties that are available for renting are advertised each week.  Once you have an application registered with Hampshire Home Choice it will become your responsibility to bid for properties in which you are interested.  You may only bid for a property once your application has been accepted onto the Hampshire Home Choice Housing Register.  Please click on  How to Use the Service for more details including a step-by-step guide.

You should only bid for properties in places where you definitely wish to live so please take this into account before making a bid.  Properties are advertised from 00.01 Wednesday until 23.59 Sunday each week during which you may make bids.  You can use Hampshire Home Choice to:

• Register a housing application
• Search for properties being advertised
• Apply or bid for a property
• View results of previous lettings
