Options for moving
Homefinder UK
A new way of helping you find a different home.
What is Homefinder UK?
If you are interested in moving to a social landlord, Council or Housing Association, in another area HomefinderUK can help you.
Homefinder UK is a national housing mobility scheme which brings social housing applicants, properties and landlords together, all in one portal.
Homefinder UK helps homeless households, applicants living in Temporary Accommodation, private sector tenants threatened with homelessness, victims of domestic abuse & gang violence, overcrowded households & social tenants, who want or need to move, to find a home that better matches their needs.
In order to be eligible for the scheme, you must be willing to move at least 100 miles radius outside London.
Homefinder UK offers personalised support to applicants considering a long-distance move. Whatever help you need with finding the right social housing property, the Homefinder UK Case Management Team can help.
Properties are made available by landlords and advertised on the Homefinder UK website. By registering on Homefinder UK, applicants are able to see all immediately available homes and mutual exchanges.
Kingston Council has joined the scheme to offer households approaching our service more choice and opportunity to find suitable homes.
Homefinder UK is not run by the council.
