Our promise to residents
The council has made long-standing commitments to secure tenants, resident leaseholders, and private tenants regarding their housing options.
The council is currently consulting on a draft Local Lettings Policy which sets out a proposal to offer eligible non-secure tenants in temporary accommodation a new council home in High Road West on a secure tenancy, and engaging these residents on other potential elements of an offer to them. The council is also consulting leaseholders on a revised draft Leaseholder Offer, building on previous rounds of consultation and engagement. You can read more about these consultation and engagement activities on the Consultations page.
You can see a summary of the council’s promises to residents on the Love Lane Estate below.
All secure council tenants on the Love Lane Estate will:
- Be offered a new, high quality, modern council-owned home in the redevelopment area that meets their needs
- Continue to pay council rent
- Continue to have a long-term tenancy
- Have a dedicated re-housing officer to support them through the whole moving process
- Receive 'Home Loss' compensation, with all reasonable moving costs paid
All resident leaseholders will:
- Receive the full market value for their home, with an additional 10% as compensation
- Have the opportunity to purchase a new home in the redevelopment area, with the council offering to pay a contribution through an enhanced equity loan
- Have all reasonable legal and moving costs paid
All private tenants will:
- Receive timely, one-to-one advice on their re-housing needs and options
If our proposed Local Lettings Policy is agreed, we can also promise that
Eligible non-secure tenants in temporary accommodation will: *
- Be offered a new, high quality, modern council-owned home in the redevelopment area that meets their needs
- Be offered a secure tenancy at council rent
- Have a dedicated re-housing officer to support them through the whole moving process
* For non-secure tenants to be eligible, they will need to have both lived on the Love Lane Estate and have been accepted as homeless by the council for at least a year.
If you have any questions please contact the dedicated engagement officer, Lauren Schneider on lauren.schnieder@haringey.gov.uk or call 07816 151961.
For full details on the Council’s existing commitments please download the relevant guide, see the bottom of this page.
Home moves
All tenants on the Love Lane Estate will eventually need to move for High Road West to go ahead. Tenants do not have to move until their block is required for demolition. Most tenants will be able to move straight to a new home built in High Road West. We aim to keep temporary moves to a minimum.
What happens if I want to move now?
All Love Lane secure tenants who want to be re-housed need to complete a housing needs assessment with their Re-housing Officer. The assessment is compulsory and will be used to determine what your rehousing needs are.
Once your needs assessment is completed you will be placed in Housing needs Band A.
A letter will be sent to you with your housing reference number, your personal identification number and the size of the property that you are entitled to.
You will be able to bid on Haringey Council Choice based lettings scheme Home Connections for properties of your choice.
If you are a non-secure tenant in temporary accommodation, you will maintain your existing priority on the housing register when bidding for homes elsewhere in the borough.

Face-to-face rehousing surgeries are currently paused. You can however contact a member of the Re-housing Team at any time if you want to discuss housing issues and rehousing options.
