Northumberland Homefinder - A new way to find a home to rent in Northumberland

A new Northumberlandwide housing service has been launched called Northumberland Homefinder, allowing customers to place bids on empty properties in the Northumberland area. This means only one application form needs to be completed for the majority of affordable housing across the Northumberland region.

An introduction to Northumberland Homefinder Opens in a new window gives further information on how the scheme works. If you would like to apply for a home in the Northumberland area please read the Guide to the areas of Northumberland Opens in a new window and fill in the application form Opens in a new window. If you or a member of your family have health or disability problems that are affected by your current home and could be improved by moving to another home you need to complete a Medical Self-Assessment Form Opens in a new window and submit it with your Homefinder application form. If you have already registered your application and received your application number and password, you can bid on any empty property in Northumberland that you are eligible for using the Northumberland Homefinder website.
