Sevenoaks District Council Members approved the allocations scheme used to prioritise accepted applicants on the Housing Register and you can view the Sevenoaks District Housing Register Allocation Scheme ( PDF File 168KB file details). If your circumstances change in any way you must tell the Housing Options Team immediately as your priority may change. If you want a full breakdown of the points awarded to your application please contact please contact the Housing Options Team on 01732 749433 or e mail housing.options@wkha.org.uk.

Once your application has been accepted onto the Sevenoaks District Housing Register, your details will automatically be uploaded onto Kent Homechoice, where you will be able to bid for suitable properties.  To find out more about Kent Homechoice visit the Kent Homechoice website or download the Kent Homechoice user guide.

Please note, there is no Council housing in the Sevenoaks District as the Council transferred its housing stock to West Kent Housing Association in 1989 and now all social housing is provided by Housing Associations.  There is very high demand for  Housing Association properties in the Sevenoaks District and most applicants accepted onto Kent Homechoice will wait a long time before they are offered a home.  If you have an urgent housing problem, you will need to get some housing advice.
