Homesearch is the register for social rent homes and low cost home ownership in Bath and North East Somerset.
We prioritise applications by waiting time and housing need but it can take a long time to find a low cost home.
Properties are advertised on Friday to Tuesday every week.
If you're offered a property with Curo, you’ll be required to pay your first month’s rent in advance.
This payment is not a deposit—it covers your rent until the next due date.
If you're unable to meet this cost yourself, you may be eligible for financial assistance through Welfare Support or other charitable organisations.
However, this support is not guaranteed, so it’s important to explore these options early to avoid delays.
For advice and support, please contact Passport to Housing at Curo.
