Council Housing
Barnet Council runs a choice based letting system. The only way to access this system and become eligible for council and housing association properties is to join the Homeseekers Register. There is no waiting list and joining the Homeseeekers Register does not guarantee that you will be offered a secure tenancy. Due to the high demand for housing in Barnet the majority of the households on the Homeseekers Register will never be successful at bidding for a permanent council or housing association property.

Following an inspection by the Government in November 2004 Barnet Homes have successfully secured access to £89 million additional funding to improve Council Homes. As well as improving the quality of council properties, Barnet Homes is also responsible for delivering high quality services for tenants – during their first year of operation levels of tenants satisfaction have improved dramatically from 60% to over 75%.
