Are you interested in becoming a GCH tenant? Apply for one of our homes.

If you are looking for a home in Gloucestershire, apply through Homeseeker Plus, which is managed by the local council. We’re unable to take direct applications.

You’ll need to create an online account with Homeseeker Plus and the Council will assess your application. They’ll give you a banding based on your housing needs.

Once your application is registered you can check available homes and bid for them online.

The Homeseeker Plus system will upload properties between Monday and Friday each week. We recommend that you set up ‘property alerts’ so you’re notified when a home that meets your criteria becomes open for bidding.

If your bid is accepted

If you’re successful in your bid for a GCH property, you’ll be contacted following the end of the cycle.

We’ll ask you to complete our checks to make sure that you’re ‘housing ready’ and are the right person for the home including:

  • Pre-tenancy sustainment interviews
  • An affordability assessment completed by the Tenancy Sustainment Team
  • Full landlords referencing
  • Support plan and risk assessment as necessary
  • Rent in advance prior to tenancy sign up
