Options for moving

Move to a smaller home

If you are of pension age and a Kingston Council tenant under-occupying your home by one or more bedrooms you might qualify for our Incentive to Move Scheme.

We can help you move to a smaller home meeting your needs within the borough through our Housing Register or outside the local area through the Seaside and Country Homes Scheme or Homefinder UK.

You may be eligible for help moving if you are:

  • a Kingston Council tenant
  • under-occupying your home by one or more bedrooms
  • not affected by the spare room subsidy.

If you qualify for our Incentive to Move Scheme, the council will pay you up to £1,750 and help you move by arranging removals with your prefered contractor. We will also arrange the disconnection and reconnection of services.  

To apply for a move you will need to join Kingston's Housing Register.

For more details and to arrange a home visit to discuss your housing needs, please call the Housing Allocations Team on 020 8547 5125 or email allocations@kingston.gov.uk
