Housing Register Application form - Islington Council

Section 4 - Other housing options
Shared Ownership
Shared ownership schemes involve a part-buy, part-rent arrangement which can make home ownership
more affordable for people who cannot afford to purchase a property outright. A leaflet is available with
details of housing associations operating these schemes, from the Rehousing Team on 020 7527 4140.
Are you interested in shared ownership schemes? Yes No
Sheltered housing
Sheltered housing is for people who are 55 years and over, who are independent, able to manage
alone but prefer the added security of a warden and an alarm call system. Application forms are
available from the Rehousing Team on 020 7527 4140.
Are you interested in sheltered housing? Yes No
Transfer outside of the Islington area
If you are interested in moving out of the borough, you may be able to apply directly to the local
authority where you want to move. Often you must have a connection with the area, such as a job or
relative living in the area.
Housing opportunities are extremely limited, particularly in relation to family-sized accommodation in
London and the Southeast of the country.
If you would like further information on the prospects of rehousing outside Islington please call the
Rehousing call centre on 020 7527 4140.
Are you interested in moving out of Islington? Yes No
Further information for all these schemes is available on the Council’s website at:
