The Homefinder UK website advertises social housing properties across the UK. Merton Council has joined the scheme to give Merton residents the chance to move into homes more suitable for their household size and for their financial circumstances.

Who is eligible?
You may be eligible for the scheme if:
- we have placed you in temporary accommodation, or
- we have accepted a responsibility to provide housing for you.
If you are a housing association tenant you should contact your landlord to see if they are part of the scheme.
If you are a private tenant or home-owner, then you are not eligible.
Why use this service?
Homefinder UK may be the answer for you if you:
- are looking to move to be closer to employment opportunities, family members or friends
- need to move to provide or receive care or support
- want to downsize to a smaller property, for example to reduce the impact of the recent welfare reforms.
Help with moving
Merton Council's Housing Needs staff can help you with:
- financial and budgeting advice,

- transport information.
