Your housing options

Your housing options guide

This guide helps you understand the options available for finding a new home.

It explains:

  • how social housing works in Kensington and Chelsea

  • other ways to help you move to a home that feels safe, settled and right for you

Finding the right place to live can be difficult, especially in Kensington and Chelsea. Homes here are expensive, and there are not enough affordable ones for everyone who needs one.

We’re working to build more affordable homes in the borough. We’re also supporting housing associations to do the same. But we know we cannot offer a council home to everyone who needs one. That’s why we ask residents to consider all the options available.
