You can apply for many of our homes on different websites and through local authorities.

In some areas this is via a waiting list that you need to register for. The other option is through a local choice based lettings partnership which lets you apply for the homes you’re interested in rather than going on a waiting list. Where possible, we advertise our homes through these lettings partnerships where you can see properties from lots of landlords all in one place.

In some areas, a number of properties are also given to people referred by the local authority. This is called a local authority nomination.

Riverside advertises a number of its properties through Lewisham Home Search. To join the register please be aware that you will have to meet the eligibility criteria, and that there are many more people registered than there are homes available. You will not be able to bid on a property until you have joined the register and your application is approved. Properties that are available for rent will be advertised from Thursday to Sunday each week. Please note that on weeks with a bank holiday there will be no properties advertised. If you see a property you are eligible for and interested in then login and apply for it. This process is known as bidding. You can also view results of recent lettings. If you would like help to use Lewisham Homesearch please contact your local Housing Office. If you are experiencing problems making property requests contact us on 01204 771 656.
