Housing
Sandwell Homes
Sandwell Homes looks after council housing on behalf of the council. Visit their website to help you find a home, report a repair, pay rent and find out lots of useful information for tenants.
Council housing
Council housing is property that is owned by a council and not by a private individual or company. Anyone can apply for council housing but homes are normally offered to the people who need them most.
Council tax
Council tax applies to all residential properties regardless of whether they are rented or owned. The amount you have to pay depends on which valuation band your home is placed in.
Housing advice
If you are experiencing housing problems we aim to help. If you are homeless, at risk of homelessness or simply looking for help with your housing solution we can give you comprehensive housing advice.
Housing benefit
Anyone who pays rent to the Council, a Private Landlord or an Housing Association can make a claim for Housing Benefit. It is a means tested benefit, which is paid to people to help with their rent payments.
Private housing
We provide services, support and advice to home owners and home occupiers, private landlords and their tenants.
