Before you can bid on one of our homes, you must first have an active account with Durham Key Options. If you are unsure how to do this, you can watch our helpful video which talks you through the process. If you have an account which is already activated and you are still encountering problems, please contact us.

We aim to start processing your application within 10 working days. If we require any further information after this point, we will contact you to ask for this. Once we have received all the required information we will notify you of our decision within 20 days, and if accepted we will activate your account. You can also check your application status online by logging into the DKO portal.
