Choice based letting scheme
All affordable homes will be advertised by Clarion via Kent HomeChoice CBL scheme. For first let, this will be as early as possible prior to handover of the scheme. Advertisements will clearly state a Lettings Plan applies giving priority to applicants with a local connection to the immediate area.
Applicants wishing to be considered for homes, including existing tenants seeking a transfer, must be included on the Council’s housing register. When vacant properties are advertised, applicants should bid in the usual way on Kent HomeChoice. A shortlist of applicants will be produced when the bidding cycle closes and prioritised as set out below. The highest priority applicant will usually be offered the property.
