Bidding for a Property

How do I make a bid?

Once registered, you can make a maximum of three requests for properties in any one week – you should only make the request if you meet the requirements of the property advert (for example it may be shown as a sheltered property that is restricted to those of a certain age group).

Bids can be made in the following ways: 

• By phone to either Key Choices Property Shop on 01709 336005; the Housing Options Team on 01709 336565; or by 2010 Rotherham Contact Centre on 0300 100 2010
