Easter & May Bank Holiday Notification

Lewisham Find Your Home does not operate over any Bank Holidays.

Please see below for dates when there will be no properties available.

Very Important Notice

If you placed a bid for properties over the May Bank Holidays, please make sure that you are available to view the property over the holiday period. Please ensure that your contact details are up to date 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.

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 housing associations in the borough.

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

Please note that Lewisham Council will never ask you to make payment in return for a place on the housing waiting list or to obtain a social tenancy. Be aware of scammers asking for your money.

Viewings

Please ensure that your local housing office or housing association 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 Housing Association, 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. 

Please note: We are no longer providing a face-to-face service at Laurence House.  If you need housing advice visit www.lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/housing
