Guidance Notes
Welcome to Havering’s Housing Register online application form. Please note that this application is for new housing applications only. If you are already on the housing register, but want to notify a change of circumstances, complete the
change of circumstances form to update your details.
About the on-line form
You will be asked for information about you and all the people included in your application. This means you have to provide full names, dates of birth, income, address history and any history of unacceptable behaviour to complete the form. It is a good idea to have all this information ready before you start. However, you can partially complete and save the form so that you can access it again at a later date.
The Housing Application form is completed in two parts. Once you have completed the form below, you will then need to complete the second part of your Housing Application on our portal (
My Havering Account)
As soon as both parts of the form have been fully completed and submitted, your Housing Application will then be automatically passed to the Housing Choice and Applications team for an initial assessment. As part of this, your Housing Application will be assessed to determine your eligibility and qualification criteria for joining the Housing Register and the final outcome will be provided by email.
Before filling the form it is advisable to check whether you would meet the Qualification Criteria to join Havering’s Housing Register. We recommend you read the full Housing Allocation scheme which is available on the website at
Havering Housing Allocation Scheme.
