Find your new home with Gateshead Home Choice

Gateshead Home Choice is the new way of searching and bidding on council houses and properties advertised by registered housing providers in Gateshead. Launched on 7 December 2022, this new service replaced the previous partnership with Tyne and Wear Homes.

If you are currently on Gateshead's housing register you will be able to access your account on Gateshead Home Choice using the same login details you used for Tyne and Wear Homes, with both your registration number and PIN remaining the same.

For more information, or if you have any questions regarding Gateshead Home Choice, please email homechoice@gateshead.gov.uk, or call 0191 433 5345.
