Council housing

Here you can find out everything you need to know about becoming – and being – a council tenant. There’s information on initiatives if you want to move, too, including a mutual exchange scheme.

You can also find advice on setting up a tenants’ association and learn about supported tenancies enabling people with special needs to live independently in the community. There’s news on our low-cost home insurance scheme, as well as the right-to-buy and shared ownership schemes for tenants who wish to buy.

Lewisham Homes (external website) currently interim manages approximately 4000 properties until they move into Decent Homes investment options. This means management and ownership of homes could be transferred to a new landlord, for example, a housing association.
