Right To Buy

If you are a protected tenant, under the Right to Buy scheme you may be able to buy your home at a price lower than the full market value. This is because the length of time you have spent as a tenant entitles you to a discount.

To qualify for the Right to Buy there are specific criteria that must be met and some homes may be excluded.  For more information or to request the Right to Buy application form please contact the customer contact centre on 0845 113 3000.

Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes In Kent
Below are the two main organisations who offer Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes in Kent and the South East.  Shared Ownership is a part rent, part buy scheme operated by housing associations who will own part of your home until you can afford to buy their share or wish to move.

As property prices continue to rise Housing associations and local authorities in Kent are working together to offer a range of affordable home ownership opportunities for people who cannot afford to buy on the open market.

Alternatively, HomeBuy helps people to find a home in the South East of England if they cannot afford to buy or privately rent a property. HomeBuy is targeted at groups such as public sector key workers, people in council housing or housing association tenants or those in priority need.
