Apply for a transfer
Demand for council housing in Ealing is far greater than the supply.
To include or delete someone from your transfer application you will need to update your circumstances at the Ealing Housing Options website.
How do I search for a home?
All vacant homes are advertised weekly and can be found at the Ealing Housing Options website. Advertised properties are open to bids from existing council tenants and from people on the housing register.
Once you are registered for housing, you will be told:
- your priority band and priority date
- your Locata identification number
- if you are a homeseeker or a transfer
- the maximum number of beds you can bid for
You can use the Ealing Housing Options website to bid for suitable vacant properties. Adverts give details of who is eligible to apply, for example:
- homeseekers or transfers or both
- numbers in household
- mobility levels
Read the adverts carefully to check you are eligible for the property you want. Symbols at the top of each advert explain who can apply. The key to symbols appears on the inside cover of Locata Home.
