Darlington Borough Council Housing Welcome to our page. Our operating hours are Mon to Thurs 8.30am-5pm, and Fri 8.30-4.30pm. In certain circumstances we may need to delete comments.

Welcome to the Darlington Borough Council's Housing page. Darlington Borough Council is a North East based housing provider that aims to provide quality, affordable homes for residents in communities that are sustainable and set within a safe, strong and cohesive environment

You can find out about all the latest news and events, as well as information on housing topics and any updates we may have to share. Before you ask a question we recommend that you check to see if the information you need is already available on https://www.darlington.gov.uk/housing/. This will avoid you needing to wait longer than necessary to find the answer. We check our social networks on a regular basis throughout normal Council office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm). This means if you ask a question on a weekend, an evening or on a bank holiday we will not see it straightaway. Comments may be removed if they contain swearing and abuse, personal details, libellious/defamatory information, political/extremist views or information about ongoing legal
proceedings. We will also delete posts which promote businesses or if they are off-topic, irrelevant or repetitive.

🎃👻 Halloween Fun at Roxby Court 👻🎃

Tenants at Roxby Court enjoyed a fantastic Halloween crafting morning with pupils from Firthmoor Primary School. Residents and children got creative, shared refreshments, and spent time getting to know each other.

😀One pupil even called it "the best day ever!"

🙂A wonderful morning bringing generations together and creating lasting memories for everyone involved.

🏡 Final Rent to Buy Homes Available in Darlington

We now have the last two remaining three-bedroom Rent to Buy properties available at our Sherborne Close (Branksome) development.

These are the final homes available through our current Rent to Buy programme and the last Rent to Buy properties we expect to offer across Darlington for the foreseeable future.

The Rent to Buy scheme is designed to help working households take the first step towards home ownership, giving you the opportunity to save towards buying your own home while renting.

⚠️ Please note:

• Only two properties remain available
• Applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis
• Due to the limited availability, this advert may be withdrawn at short notice once sufficient applications have been received

Before applying, please ensure you meet the scheme eligibility criteria.

🤔Thinking about making a housing disrepair claim?

👀You may have seen adverts from claims management companies encouraging tenants to take legal action against their landlord. But before you go down that route, it’s important to know the risks:

➡Hidden costs
➡Fees if you change your mind
➡Stressful and lengthy court cases
➡Risk of breaching your tenancy agreement

🗣Talk to us first!
We’re here to help keep your home safe and in good repair. Courts expect tenants to use their landlord’s complaints process before taking legal action, and we want to work with you to resolve issues quickly and fairly.

📞Contact our Housing Team on 01325 405 333 :

➡Report unresolved repairs
➡Escalate complaints
➡Book inspections and repairs

📋Just a reminder to all Tenants to only allow people into your property if you are expecting the visitor and they have ID.

👍All Darlington Borough Council employees carry ID.
