Important change: How frequently we advertise homes in Camden

We are now advertising homes twice weekly as follows:

This will give you three days on each cycle to check and bid on any homes that you may be interested in viewing for each advert period.

Virtual Tours

The council are trying out a new virtual tour viewing approach for Camden owned properties. If you are successful enough to be shortlisted, you will be sent a link to your phone where you will be able to view all aspects of the home that you have bid for. The virtual tour will allow you to see the full dimensions of the property in detail, including a floor plan. We would ask you to view the virtual tour as soon as you receive it and let us know the following day whether you wish to accept or reject the property. We will ask you to contact the Neighbourhood Housing Officer with your decision.

Unfortunately, because of the ongoing pandemic, we will not be able to offer a physical viewing unless there are exceptional circumstances. Please contact the named Neighbourhood Housing Officer if you need to discuss the property further.

How to find out about available homes

We will continue to use the Home Connection website to advertise homes and you should bid as you would normally whilst, remembering to check for new homes twice a week. How you bid for homes has not changed and bidding via the Home Connections website, the Mobile App or by text message remains the method of expressing your interest in a home.

As we will be advertising more frequently, we will no longer be able to produce the weekly downloadable and printable version of the advert.
