Furniture Service

What is the Furniture Service

We can supply furniture to tenants to help them set up their homes. The service is available to tenants when they first take a tenancy or existing tenants. The furniture is supplied in  exchange  for a weekly payment that we add to your rent. You may be able to receive help in paying the charge through Housing Benefit.

How does the service work ?

Anyone interested in taking a furnished tenancy should ask about furniture when they are looking for a property. You will be asked to sign an agreement for furniture when you sign your tenancy agreement. Your housing officer will make arrangements for the furniture to be delivered to your home.

The furniture is supplied by ‘Your Homes Newcastle’,

Can I choose what items of furniture I get?

You can choose what items of furniture you want. We will show you the range of items available and explain the charges that you pay depending on the items you choose.

Full details of the scheme are available in our leaflet ‘Guide to the furnished tenancy service’ or by contacting our Estates team on (01670) 542248
