Redbridge Council is moving to a new Choice Based Lettings (CBL) platform. Redbridge Homes will make management of the limited supply of social housing properties easier to advertise and allocate.
Thank you to everyone who has registered on Redbridge Homes.
If you did not register by 31.08.2025, you can still register but your application may take longer to process. We aim to assess all applications within 6 weeks and will notify you once complete. This may take longer if we have requested further information from you. Please do not contact the housing register team during this period as this may cause further delay.
Your Household ID and password will be required to access the new Redbridge Homes bidding website once this is live.
If you already have a homeless application and are in Temporary Accommodation (TA), please refer to the letter we sent you in July 2025 which provided instructions on what to do next. Details and guidance on how to reset your password can be found here.
If you do not have a homeless application; and you are registered on the existing housing register, then you MUST complete and submit an application on Redbridge Homes if you want to keep bidding for social housing. Please follow the guidance here.
YOU CAN STILL PLACE BIDS ON CHOICE HOMES SITE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
The housing register application form can be accessed here: Redbridge Homes
How to guides:
The Key Documents on the right of screen will guide you through the process. Please watch or read the following:
Our team of officers will be processing a large volume of applications, so please be patient with us during this time. We will be in contact with you as soon as possible.
You are responsible for ensuring your application is completed and submitted. The council will not complete any application for you. If you are unable to complete the application you can ask family, friends, support worker or neighbours for assistance.
These changes are being made following recent consultation on the housing allocation scheme whereby Redbridge Council asked you to share your views. Consultation is now complete. The allocations policy has been approved by cabinet members and can be found under Key Documents.
This scheme informs how we allocate housing both in and out of the borough and prioritises the people on the housing register.
The new housing allocations scheme:
Sets out clearly how we allocate and let social housing in the borough
Ensures decisions are made fairly and with clear reasons
Makes it easier to understand the eligibility criteria, who qualifies, and who we cannot house
Improves the way we prioritise people. This is especially important given the high demand for the few properties that are available to let each year
Makes sure we comply with recent legislation and good practice.
