Housing Advice

The Housing Advice Team is based in Marmion House in the town centre and handles initial applications for housing (the Housing Register), transfer requests from Council tenants, nominations to other Councils or Housing Associations and also deals with people who are homeless or threatened with homelessness.

They can be contacted -

or Email: Housingadvice@tamworth.gov.uk

They are available Monday to Friday between 8.45am and 5.00pm


Trained advisers are available for you to speak to and you may be able to discuss your enquiry over the telephone. You can also make an appointment to see an advisor.
