Social housing

With social housing (renting from a council or housing association) you tend to have more security of tenure and guarantees of service such as repairs. Rents are generally lower than if you rent privately, but this gap is narrowing.

Housing in west London, and particularly Hillingdon, is in short supply and it may be unrealistic that you will get a new home through social housing. It is therefore important that you look at all your available housing options

Before you consider applying to join the housing register, you should first make sure you are eligible and that you qualify.

If you do not meet the criteria to join our housing register, you can use the advice found on the housing options page to help you with your housing needs.

If you meet the criteria and would like to register to join our housing register, click the green 'register' button on the top right of this page.
