Renting a home

Bath & North East Somerset

To apply for a property with the Trust you have to register your details with Bath & North East Somerset Council, which works in partnership with housing associations such as Somer Community Housing Trust.

B&NES holds a register of people requiring housing in the area, known as the 'Homesearch Register'. This is a choice-based lettings system, where you are able to 'bid' for properties. This process is known as registering an interest. You may only bid for a property if your application has been accepted.
