2. Choosing

Look at the vacancies

Lists of homes to rent will be displayed at all the partners offices.  

The lists will also be advertised in our newsletters and properties can also be viewed by clicking on the properties button above or you can ring us on our freephone number 0800 655 6785.

For each home advertised we publish information to help you make the right choice e.g. the weekly costs, local services, and any special features (such as sheltered housing for older people).

Each advert tells you if that home is most suitable for a family, couple or single person. The type of homes you can be considered for will depend on:

•        How many people are to be housed with you.
•        If you need to stay in a community.
•        Which band you are in (some homes may be restricted to a particular band).

Please note: every now and again homes are excluded from Select Move because they are needed for an emergency. In those cases the homes will not be advertised.

Choose a home and express your interest

Our lists are published every week on a Saturday. From the date we first advertise a home you have five days to apply.

When you see a home you like and which you qualify for, it’s time to tell us you’re keen. You can express your interest in person at one of the partner offices, online, by SMS text, Kiosk or over the telephone.

•        Online  Click on properties above
•        Telephone  Dial 0845 270 1076 The automated system will take you through the process.
•        SMS Text Messaging 447781482371      
•        General Number 0800 655 6785 for information and advice.
•        In person Complete a bidding slip at any of the property shops.     

KIOSKS

Our service is available through customer Kiosks which offer free internet access in a number of locations across the City as detailed below.

• Morrisons, Docklands, Preston
• Sainsburys, Sir Tom Finney Way, Preston
• UCLAN, Adelphi Street, Preston   

You can show an interest in up to five homes in any of the weekly advertising periods. When you express an interest in a property we will tell you what position you are on the list for the property at that particular time.

Please note your position on the list will change as other people express interest in the property.

It is then up to you. If you are high up on the list, or feel that a particular home is very important, you can “stick “ with it. Or you can withdraw your interest and move it to another home where you may be higher up the list.
