West Kent aims to provide good quality affordable housing through the Sevenoaks District Housing Register. 

To register on the Sevenoaks District Housing Register please visit our publications page and download the forms. Alternatively call our Housing Options team on: 01732 749433.   

We offer a wide range of housing in an effort to meet individual people’s needs.  Our homes include bungalows, flats and houses.  We have properties in the Seveonaoks District and are increasing our stock in Medway, Ashford and other local authority areas in Kent. We also offer sheltered, key worker and low cost home ownership or Homebuy housing.

 

Sheltered housing

 

One bedroom flats or bungalows where over 55’s can continue to live an independent life with added support.  A sheltered housing assistant calls twice a week and the homes are linked to a 24 hour call centre for extra peace of mind. Some schemes have laundries and communal lounges.

We also have a purpose built scheme in Swanley and in Sevenoaks, which provide the added security of a 24 hour on site sheltered housing assistant as well as providing meals if necessary.

Key worker housing

We have six 2 bedroom flats in Swanley at reduced rents for people in key local jobs.

For information on the key worker criteria, please contact the Housing Options Team on 01732 749433.

Intermediate rent housing - Flats for rent: Swanley and Gravesend

We have six, two-bedroomed flats in Swanley and 12 one and two bedroomed flats in Gravesend at 'sub market' rent for people in key local jobs. For more information contact the Housing Options Team on 01732 749433.

Homebuy                                               

This is a scheme designed for those people who cannot afford to buy a property outright. Homebuy enables you to buy up to 75 per cent of the property while renting the remaining portion that you do not own. You can increase the amount you own over a period of time.

For more information on Low Cost Home Ownership properties and details of how to apply, please contact our Homebuy Portfolio Manager on 01732 749411.
