Registering for a Council Property

Eligibility for the Housing Register

To join the Housing Register in Haringey you must:

  • be 16 years of age or over
  • not be ineligible for housing by reason of your immigration status
  • not have been found guilty of unacceptable behaviour

All other persons included on a housing application must be a member of the applicant’s family and have lived with the applicant for at least 12 months before the date of the application, except:

  • newly born or expected children
  • a new spouse

All housing register applications are subject to a standard verification framework which includes home visits and the checking of identification and other relevant documents. People who are statutorily homeless and accepted for rehousing are automatically entered onto the Housing Register. Applicants with no fixed abode can apply on the register with a ‘care of’ address.

You have the right to request a review (see housing reviews) of any decision made by the Council concerning your application.
