Brentwood Borough Council Housing - HomeOption

HomeOption

Brentwood Council has changed the way Council and housing association properties are let to people on the Housing Register and Transfer List.  To be considered for housing, applicants must express interest in suitable properties using a Choice Based Lettings scheme called HomeOption.

HomeOption, which has been formed by Brentwood Borough Council and Epping Forest and Uttlesford district councils, publishes a fortnightly freesheet advertising available Council and housing association properties in the three districts. 

Each fortnight eligible tenants and homeseekers can express an interest in up to three properties in a number of ways: online, by telephone, by text or by completing a coupon. The points assessment scheme will then be used to decide who the properties will be offered to out of those who have expressed an interest.

The HomeOption freesheet is available from a number of distribution points in Brentwood, including: Town Hall, Brentwood Library, Connexions, Citizens Advice Bureau, Mind, Community Mental Health Team, Social Services, Brentwood Community Clinic, Coram Green Clinic, The Foyer, The Brentwood Centre, Information Centre and Blackmore, Doddinghurst, West Horndon, Ingatestone and Herongate Post Offices.
