LincsHomefinder is a partnership between the City of Lincoln Council and North Kesteven District Council where each council operates a choice based lettings scheme, which means you have more flexibility in choosing which areas you wish to live, within each authority district.

The purpose of LincsHomefinder is to provide an online service for both authorities where you can submit an online application, upload documents, submit a change in your circumstances, bid for vacancies (once your application is active) and more.

Each authority operates its own Allocations Policy, and this will be applied when you choose which authority you wish to be housed with. If you wish to be considered for housing within both authorities, you will receive two separate assessments. These will make it clear which authority has assessed your application, your banding and which property types and number of bedrooms you are entitled to (these can differ between each authority). 

You can view the information pages to find out more about how each authority allocates their properties and other useful information such as qualifying criteria and documents that may be required in support of your application.
