When Nigerians arrive in the UK, one of the most difficult issues they confront is finding housing. Rent is expensive, and private landlords can be stringent about guarantors, references, and deposits. Social housing, which is provided by the government, housing associations and local councils, can be lifesaving. However, it does not happen immediately or automatically. Obtaining a council residence necessitates patience, eligibility checks, and occasionally extensive waiting lists.

To qualify, you must typically show that you are a legal resident, have children or health concerns, or are homeless. Even so, many councils use a point-based system in which individuals with the most urgent needs are prioritised. For Nigerians who are new immigrants, this might mean living in shared accommodation, hostels, or renting privately before social housing becomes an option. It can be frustrating, but it’s part of the reality of the UK system.

One advantage of social housing is that it is more affordable than private renting, and tenants enjoy a higher level of security of tenure. The downside is that the properties are not always in the most desirable areas, and you might have to take what is available instead of choosing what you want. But many families have started small with social housing before working their way into better accommodation later.

Another thing to note is that your behaviour as a tenant matters. Anti-social behaviour, rent arrears or ignoring tenancy agreements can put you at risk of eviction. Unlike in Nigeria where some landlords can be lenient, the UK housing system takes rules seriously. Being responsible, paying your rent on time and keeping your home in good condition will give you stability.
