Overview

Richmond Council is proposing to develop a local Choice Based Letting (CBL) scheme to be used for allocating 'affordable rent' properties.

The scheme would include all Affordable Rent properties in new housing association developments in the borough of Richmond, Hounslow where Richmond Housing Partnership also has properties, and approximately 30% of existing housing association properties that become available to rent.

The new scheme would make the allocation process transparent and offer more choice to applicants, who would be able to see details of all properties that became available right across the borough and give people the opportunity to choose their home.
