How to apply for a home

These Homes is our digital lettings service.

To register, you will need to go to These Homes website and complete our online application. It is important that your contact information is up to date. If you need to change your email or contact telephone number, please  email lettings@berwickshirehousing.org.uk or call us on 0800 652 8104 (freephone).

Please don’t worry if you are registered with another landlord who will still use HomeHunt – your registration with them will not be affected and your lead landlord will automatically transfer.

Please make sure you give yourself plenty of time to complete your online registration, as making sure all the relevant information is filled in correctly will make finding your ideal home much easier.

If you are a new customer, you can simply provide the details requested within the registration form.

If you are an existing customer registered with HomeHunt, you will need your HomeHunt registration number. This is so you can keep your original registration date and means we can transfer any priority on your HomeHunt account to your new These Homes account.

If you are an existing customer registered with HomeHunt you must register with These Homes by 16 April 2021 to avoid losing your original registration date and priority pass award date.

Once you have registered with These Homes, we will contact you to confirm your application and ask for any further information, if needed.
