Exeter Home Choice

Welcome to Exeter Home Choice the way to access Council and Housing Association homes in Exeter and advice on other housing options. We will no longer be advertising in the Express and Echo in the near future, but you will be able to access it as usual on this website and paper copies will be available on request.

  A letter summarising the policy will be sent to all registered clients.

 

  • You may be aware of the Governments drive to help first time buyers struggling to get onto the housing ladder, support vulnerable homeowners at risk of repossession and revitalise the house-building industry.  These packages are still in development stage but we will try to post updates here as we have more information.
  • The links below give more information on other ways to find a home, from swapping with another tenant to receiving up to 50% of a purchase price to help with buying in the private marketplace.
