Oxford’s council house application is handled through the social housing register. If you’re eligible, you complete the online form and upload the documents they ask for; if accepted, Oxford will then tell you how to bid for homes advertised through Choice Based Lettings.

Oxford says the form does not guarantee acceptance onto the Housing Register, and if you’re already housed by Oxford City Council or a partner housing association, you should use the transfer application instead. After you submit the online form, you’ll get an application reference number.
