Bidding on properties

How to Bid

The quickest and easiest way to bid is to sign in to your Lewisham FindYourHome account and then go to 'View Homes'. Click on the advert to see details of the properties. If it's a property that you're interested in, click the 'Place Bid' button to register your interest.

Once you are logged in, you can also click on 'Your Account' to see your current bids as well as feedback on previous bids.

Need Help Bidding?

If you need help bidding, you can ask a friend, relative or other helper to bid for properties on your behalf.

If you are an elderly and/or a vulnerable applicant living in the private rented sector who might be digitally challenged, you may be able to get help from the Find Your Home Support Officer.  To check if you are eligible for assistance, please call 020 8314 9097.  This number should not be used for any other purpose.

If you are a tenant of a social landlord (housing association), you are not eligible and should contact your landlord who will offer you assistance.

When do I hear if I am successful?

If your bid is successful, you will be contacted by the Council or housing provider to discuss your application prior to any offer being made.
