Our independent housing for older people is for people aged 55 years or over who wish to live independently, but who may require a degree of support to do so. We maintain a direct waiting list for independent housing, however, due to reaching maximum capacity, this is currently closed to new applications. We anticipate re-opening the waiting list to new applications in September 2026.
We have a housing with care scheme (for those with additional care needs) based in Wallington, called Cloverdale Court. On-site care is provided 24/7 along with a day centre that is open Monday to Friday. Our housing with care manager works on site offering support to residents who may need assistance with managing their tenancy and generally helping residents live as independently as possible.
We also provide general housing available for rent within the London Borough of Sutton for families and single people. Some of these are suitable for wheelchair users and some are designated as disabled persons units.
How to apply for independent housing for older people
Our waiting list is currently closed to applications – please check back in September 2026 when we anticipate re-opening to new applications.
We also recommend that you check if you can join the Council’s housing register by visiting the Sutton Homechoice website – half of our empty home vacancies are offered to the London Borough of Sutton.
How to apply for housing with care
Currently all vacancies are by nomination from the London Borough of Sutton, with referrals made by their adult social services team.
If you are interested in Cloverdale Court, please contact Sutton Council on 020 8770 5000. They will explain how needs assessments are made for people seeking housing with care accommodation in the London Borough of Sutton.
How do apply for general housing
All vacancies are filled via nominations from the London Borough of Sutton. The Borough will only nominate people from the Council’s housing register.
Although we do not hold a waiting list for general housing, we do consider mutual exchange applications from tenants of other social landlords. For more information on this, please visit the HomeSwapper website.
