Housing Ombudsman Service
All local authorities and registered social housing providers are required to be members of the Housing Ombudsman Scheme. We investigate complaints and resolve disputes involving the tenants and leaseholders of social landlords (housing associations and local authorities). Investigating these complaints is a free, independent, and impartial service.

If you are unable to resolve a complaint with Lambeth Council directly via its complaint procedure, the Housing Ombudsman Service may be able to provide you with further assistance.

Lambeth Leaseholders
The Lambeth Homeowners’ Association (LHA) is run by leaseholders for leaseholders and other homeowners who pay service charges to Lambeth Council. The main functions of the LHA are to provide a forum for homeowners to exchange information, assist each other with problems and raise issues of general concern with Lambeth Council.
