See our holiday service pages for information on housing and estate services opening times over the Christmas and New Year period.
Buying a home
Right to buy, shared ownership, affordable homes.
If you cannot afford to buy your own home on the open market, help is available.
There are several low-cost home ownership options available to help anyone looking for an affordable home to buy.
Ways in which you could be assisted in buying a property include:
- Right to Buy – for council tenants only
- Shared Ownership
- Mayor of London – buying an affordable home – for Londoners looking for affordable homes to own
We own a wide range of property throughout the borough. Some become surplus to the council’s needs and these properties for sale are usually sold by auction or tender. The properties we market are mainly for residential use but include garages, small parcels of land and industrial buildings.
If you find that you cannot afford to buy at the moment, but would like assistance in looking for a good quality home to rent, Safeagent will be able to provide you with a list of accredited letting agents in your area.
