Housing allocations
Bexley Allocations Service
Getting a housing association home
The Council transferred its housing stock to London & Quadrant Bexley Homes and Orbit South Housing Association in 1998.
Finding households for most of the empty housing association homes in Bexley is done by Bexley Allocations Service (BAS).
The service helps between 700-1000 households each year with a housing association home in Bexley. It is run in partnership with London & Quadrant Bexley Homes and Orbit South Housing Association who together with Gallions Housing Association own most of the housing association homes in the borough.
The service is also able to put people forward for homes in Bexley that are owned by other housing associations.
There are many more households than there are homes available so there is a system in place for deciding who gets helped first.
Choice Based Lettings
Choice Based Lettings is a different way of letting housing association homes and we will be bringing this to Bexley in the summer of 2010.
The service will be known as Bexley HomeChoice. Available housing association homes will be advertised each week on the internet, and the details printed and displayed in libraries across the borough as well as at the Civic Offices so it's more like choosing a home through an estate agent.
Don't forget that the libraries also have computers available for use if you don't have one at home. A link to further information about the scheme is provided on the left.
Homes let in the borough
There are 12,500 housing association homes in Bexley, of which nearly 10,000 are owned by London & Quadrant Bexley Homes, Orbit South Housing Association and Gallions Housing Association.
Details of the homes let in a particular area are available from the 'Housing areas in Bexley' PDF (see right hand menu).
