Our Housing Allocations Policy (April 2024) will be implemented on 29 April 2024. All existing applications need to be reviewed in line with the new policy so it is necessary for us to have a period of down time.

To facilitate this our Bolsover Homes website will be unavailable between Tuesday 2 April and Tuesday 30 April 2024.  During this period you will not be able to make an application for housing, update an existing application or place bids on properties.

We will not be advertising properties during the review period, our next bidding cycle will commence on Thursday 2 May 2024.

Existing applicants

As per previous communications, all existing applicants will be notified in writing of how the new policy has impacted their applications, this may include changes in eligibility to access the housing register or band changes.

If you have already been contacted with an offer of a property, please be assured that we will contact you regarding this once the system is back online.   

New applicants

You will be able to submit an application for housing online after the 30 April.
