You must be over 18 years of age and have immigration clearance
to remain in the United Kingdom. Anyone who meets the above
criteria can apply to register on the City of London’s Housing
Register.
Applicants who live or work within the boundaries of the Square
Mile or live at home with their parents on a City of London estate
will receive priority (local connection) points.
If you have no City (local) connection and don't work or
live within the City Square Mile, this will have a significant
impact on your waiting time. Waiting time is in excess of 15-20
years for applicants with no local connection, therefore it is
unlikely that this particular authority will be able to assist you
with rehousing. We suggest that you contact your local
housing authority in the Borough you live or work in.
You may wish to use our
online self assessment to get an idea of
your likelyhood of rehousing with the City of London.
The City of London Offers general housing, and sheltered housing
(applicants over 60), exisiting tennants also have the right to
transfer to different estates.
Should you wish to apply for housing, please download and
print the appropriate housing application form for the type of
housing your are elegible for and the Housing Application
Form.
Failure to provide all required documentation will slow
down the processing time of your application.
