Devon Home Choice

How Long could it take

The information we unfortunately can't provide

Unfortunately it is impossible to give accurate information on whether you will be successful in finding a council or housing association home, or how long this might take. This is because:

• The Devon Home Choice register is constantly changing as new households join and existing households are housed or resolve their housing need.
• Your chances of successfully finding a council or housing association home depend on how popular the homes you are bidding for are and how many other households bid, what Band they are in and how long they have been on the register.

The information we can provide

To give you an indication of the demand for council and housing association homes, the tables below provide information on:

• The number of households on the Devon Home Choice register 
• The number of council and housing association homes let in a year

There are far more people seeking council and housing association homes in Devon than there are homes available. It is important that you consider your full range of housing options.
