Welcome to On The Move, Southend-on-Sea Borough Council's Choice Based Lettings scheme which has introduced a new way of allocating council and partner housing association properties for rent in the Borough.
The scheme has been designed to make the allocation of social housing more transparent. Instead of being 'allocated' a property, On The Move allows you to bid for properties that you would like to live in, by advertising available social housing in the borough.
Web Message 1: When you are looking at property adverts it is important to read the Further Information section as some Housing Associations who advertise through the scheme have differing criteria for who is eligible to move into their properties. If you have any questions about this information please contact us to discuss.
Web Message 2: Please note that the position message which states how many people are above you for a particular property you are eligible for or have bid upon is only intended as a guide.
Web Message 3: When placing bids please make sure you are aware of the properties location by using the Show on Map facility which can be found by clicking on the link to the right of the property photo.
Our website is packed with useful information to help you find you a suitable home. You can use this website to:
-
Search for available properties
- View Results of previous lettings
To view and download a printable Newsletter of properties being advertised for the current cycle please click Forms and Information.
You may only bid for a property if your application has been accepted onto our Homeseekers' register. If you are not currently on our Homeseekers' Register, you can download an application form by clicking on the Forms and Information link.
If you would like help to use On The Move, please contact the Housing Needs Team, by clicking on How to Contact Us for contact details and opening hours.
