Welcome to Affordable Homes in Kent, your first step to finding an affordable home for you and your family.

As property prices in Kent continue to rise the first step on the property ladder becomes increasingly beyond the reach of many working people, there is some good news.

Housing associations and local authorities in Kent are working together to offer a range of affordable home ownership opportunities to people who cannot afford to buy on the open market.

Just click on the Kent district where you live and you will land on the page for your local authority. This will tell you about your local authority’s affordable housing policy and list its housing association partners. Many of these will have homes to offer under the HomeBuy scheme.

Moat, a Kent based housing association, is the government’s appointed HomeBuy Agent for HomeBuy in Kent.  Moat is working in partnership with all local authorities and housing associations in Kent to offer HomeBuy.  Anyone interested in applying should contact Moat by visiting www.homebuy.co.uk or calling 07002 662846.  The website provides comprehensive information about HomeBuy and offers the facility to apply online.  Moat works with other housing associations to match applications to the best available housing solutions.

HomeBuy leaflets and application forms are also available from your local council’s offices.

Please be aware that the market value of properties can go down as well as up.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

A new programme of low cost home ownership. Moat is the government appointed HomeBuy Agent for HomeBuy in Kent. For information and an application form please visit Moat's Web site at www.moat.co.uk.
