Locata scheme choice based lettings

We have joined forces with other London boroughs and housing associations to help people to move or find a new home. Instead of us deciding where you live we let you make the choice.

A central letting agency known as Locata has been set up to advertise and match people to homes.

Available homes are advertised in a magazine called 'Locata HOME'. The adverts give you information about each property available for letting.

You can pick up a free copy of Locata HOME from various places, including One Stop local offices, libraries and other council offices.

Locata HOME is also available from the Locata website. Once you have your copy of Locata HOME you will be able to bid for a maximum of three properties in each edition.
