How to express your interest

What is an expression of interest?

It is simply a way of letting FCHO know you are interested in the property, you can express your interest on more than one property.

We will process all interested parties based on the rules set out for each available property. Generally if you are the first eligible person to have expressed an interest we will contact you to offer you the property (subject to a few checks).

 

How many properties can I express an interest in each week?

There is no limit on the number of properties you can express an interest for, but remember to only do it on those homes you are really interested in.

 

How many offers of housing can I receive?

If you refuse a property you can still continue to bid indefinitely for other available homes, however repeat refusals may impact on your chances of securing a property. First Choice Homes may exercise their discretion to suspend accounts or bypass account holders who are known to repeatedly refuse offers of accommodation.

 

How do I know if I have been successful?

Soon after the property closing date you will be contacted if you have been successful and made a conditional offer subject to some pre-tenancy checks. Sometimes properties are very popular so we won't usually get in touch unless you are at the top of the list.
