What is Lewisham FindYourHome?

Lewisham FindYourHome is Lewisham's social housing lettings scheme that allows you to choose the property you would like to live in, which is made up of Lewisham Council and all the main social housing providers in the borough.

Properties are advertised every Thursday to Sunday midnight and you "bid" for homes you are interested in.  You have to join the housing register to be considered ('bid') for properties

Please ensure that your local housing office or social housing provider has an up to date telephone number so that you can be contacted easily.  If the landlord cannot contact you or you can’t view the property, we may offer the property to the next person on the list.

Change of Circumstances

If you are a client of a social housing provider, you MUST contact them regarding any Change of Circumstances and not Lewisham Council.

We aim to process new applications within 12 weeks and medical assessments within 12 months. However, due to high levels of demand for the service, the waiting time could be longer.
