Choice based letting scheme
All affordable homes will be advertised by Golding Homes via Kent HomeChoice (Choice Based Letting (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 in line with this LLP.
The LLP will apply to all rounds of adverts for available homes. If shortlists from the first adverts do not result in all homes being nominated to, remaining available homes will be re-advertised in line with the relevant nominations agreement.
