Welcome to Lincoln Homefinder

Sample

Lincoln Homefinder is a scheme run by City of Lincoln Council in partnership with other housing providers including Housing Associations.

The scheme has been designed to make sure a selection of housing products as well housing advice is available for those seeking homes in Lincoln.

Lincoln Homefinder operates a choice based lettings scheme, which allows you apply for homes you are interested in. High standards of quality and service are maintained in the operation of the service.

In many cases demand for housing will be greater than supply.

We aim to give help and advice to meet the individual need of each customer. If you wish to make an application please telephone the hotline on Tel 01522 873777. For further information click on the information button to the left of this screen.

Lincoln Homefinder has changed. From Wednesday 30th March 2011 bid cycles will start every Wednesday at 00:00hrs and end every Monday at 12:00hrs.

You will still be able to bid online, over the phone, through the post and in the Property Shop as you can now. If you feel you will be unable to access the system by one of the above methods please contact the Property Shop for futher advice. You do not have to bid in every bidding cycle unless you have had a housing advice interview and have been advised to bid due to your housing need. Staying on the list is not dependent on you bidding each cycle. If you choose to bid for a property make sure it is a property you genuinely want. If you are made two offers for properties and refuse them without a valid reason a penalty will be applied to your application. Only bid for properties you genuinely want. If you accept a property you will be expected to verify your identification and sign up to your responsibilities as a tenant before you will be able to formally accept the property. Application forms will only be available through phoning or visiting the Property Shop. If you wish to view the results from the last bidding list please visit lincolnhomefinder.co.uk, visit the property shop or any of the locations listed above.
