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 Housing Associations who together with Gallions Housing Association have most housing association homes in the area. The Service is also able to put people forward for homes 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. Find out more details of how this works...

Choice Based Lettings

Choice Based Lettings is a different way of letting council and housing association homes and we want to bring it to Bexley in early 2010. Homes are advertised on the internet or in a newspaper so it’s more like choosing a home through an estate agent. Further information about the scheme and an opportunity to contribute to the development of the scheme can be found at Choice Based Lettings (758KB, PDF file).
