*Important notice - NBBC Homes is now available following a technical issue. Please note that all adverts from this week have been removed due to the technical issue; any properties advertised last week will be re-advertised next week (week commencing Monday 11 August 2025). You will need to re-bid again for any available properties and we apologise for the disruption.
All available properties will be advertised on NBBC Homes, and the adverts contain information about the landlord, the property location, rent, size, special features and any eligibility requirements.

What is NBBC Homes
- NBBC Homes is how we allocate Council and partner Housing Association properties for rent and shared ownership. Properties that are available for rent will be advertised daily for seven days
- For you to create an account you must have your National Insurance number to hand, and you must also complete the Housing Options wizard before your account can go live
- We aim to give you more choice in deciding where you want to live by advising you of the housing options that are available to you
Who will get priority
- The banding system is based on housing need and enables us to target those with the greatest housing need, while still allowing people to apply for re-housing
- The answers given on the application form will enable us to see which band you fall into and how many bedrooms you need
- Typically, a property would be offered to the person in the highest band who had been waiting for the longest time
