Intermediate housing – approach to shared ownership sales
All homes will be proactively advertised by Golding Homes online (including via Golding Homes’ website and platforms such as Share to Buy). Prioritisation of eligible buyers will be informed by government policy and local connection to Tonbridge and Malling borough.
Prioritisation considerations
A) Households awarded priority for affordable home ownership under government policy or capital funding criteria, such as serving military personnel or recently discharged veterans.
B) Local connection:
Top priority will be given to households with a local connection to Aylesford South and Ditton ward and Larkfield ward, in line with TMBC’s Affordable Home Ownership Discount Sale Policy (or its successor).
Secondary priority will be given to households with a local connection to the wider Borough of Tonbridge and Malling.
Golding Homes will prioritise households with a local connection for an 8-week period from first marketing of each delivery phase. This may be reviewed if demand is low, subject to agreement with TMBC.
Where demand outweighs supply, interest will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
For re-sales, priority will be given to households with a local connection alongside Homes England eligibility criteria.
If there are no eligible buyers with a local connection, homes may be sold to any buyer meeting government eligibility criteria and Golding Homes’ policies.
