Visit the Home Options website https://www.home-options.org/ to see which properties are available. Choose up to 3 properties and put in a bid* for each. It is important to know that it is not just a case of registering with Home Options. You must bid for specific properties or you will not be considered for any house! Bidding for Properties New properties are added to the Home Options website as they become available. Check the website regularly and place bids for any chosen property.

You can set an email alert to be notified of when a suitable property is available. Properties will be advertised for a minimum of five days.

Bids must be placed by 11.59pm on the day that bidding closes. As stated above, applicants can place up to three bids at any one time. In the case of Bradwell these bids could be for any three of the four Bradwell Springs houses which become available in Spring 2021.

Category: Bradwell CLT

Bradwell CLT is a not for profit organisation, working for your village and where any profit made is returned for the benefit of the community. The board is made up of local volunteers and its agenda is driven by its members. The more members the Trust has, the more influence it will have in discussions, negotiations and access to grants and loans. Joining the BCLT for £1.00 enables you to have an input into a variety of projects within the village for the benefit of the village and allows you to take part in the Trust’s decision making.

Bradwell CLT is not responsible for the works and has no relationship with the contractors. Please refer to the PDNPA, as the planning enforcement authority, regarding issues such as access, parking and restrictions during construction, which is expected to take between 2 and 3 years.

Bradwell CLT will own the 12 affordable houses and has appointed Peak District Rural Housing Association, a professional, independent housing association, to manage them. The housing association will engage with Home-Options as a choice based letting scheme used across Derbyshire, to work with interested tenants and allocate the affordable houses based upon the Home-Options allocation policy. Preferential priority for allocation will be given to tenants with a strong local connection to the parish of Bradwell or an adjoining parish. Other factors taken into consideration for any affordable housing include your housing need, your resources, where you live and work and the length of time you have been on the register.
