How Kent Homechoice Works

Once you have completed your profile information including your family details and address history along with a pre assessment, you may be asked to complete and submit a housing register application which you will do online.

Because the form is lengthy and asks you lots of questions about yourself and your circumstances, we recommend using a laptop to complete this with.

Once you have submitted your form and details you will receive a request to provide some supporting information which you will be able to upload to your Kent Homechoice portal.

Once you have provided all of the information and this has been received by the Council, if your application meets the criteria set out in their allocations policy, you will be informed of your band, bedroom need and registration date.

You should note that across Kent we are currently receiving extremely high numbers of applications so it may take some time for your application to be assessed.

At this stage you will be able to login to your account to see if there are properties that you are eligible to express an interest or 'bid' on.  If there are you will be able to bid on as may properties as you can and you will be able to let us know which of the properties you would prefer but selecting the icon to tell us that one is your favourite.

Once the closing date for the property is reached you will be able to see your position on the shortlist of those that have bid on the property.
