How we work with social housing providers

The Royal Borough has a long history of working with registered providers (also known as housing associations or registered social landlords) to provide social housing.

If you are looking for social housing, you need to apply to the Council and register on the Common Housing Register. You cannot apply directly to a housing association.

All social housing within the Royal Borough is covered by a nominations agreement that we have with providers. This agreement ensures we receive properties that become empty or are built. As well as properties in Kensington and Chelsea, the agreement covers some properties in other boroughs, such as:

Whereas many of the properties in the Royal Borough are flats, the out-of-borough properties include more houses.
