Property Services

Introduction from Peta Caine, Assistant Director of Property Services

The Property Services Team want to find solutions that will improve the lives of all residents, businesses and stakeholders In Kensington and Chelsea.

We celebrate ambition, diversity and innovation. This is why we want to attract the best people from a diverse variety of backgrounds and professions to support the delivery of our Council housing capital delivery programme.

The Capital Delivery team is responsible for delivering RBKC’s Council housing capital programme which will improve the quality and environmental sustainability of residents’ homes.

A significant part of our work is focused on working with residents to involve them in the decisions made about the refurbishment of their homes. In response to London’s affordable housing crisis, as a borough we are committed to building more social housing to help people on lower incomes to live, work, and raise their families in the borough.

We have approximately 9,000 Council homes of which approximately 7,000 are tenanted and 2,000 are leasehold.

Our vision

We have a clear vision, to deliver the best housing services for our residents. The key priorities of our Housing Strategy are:

• To support families rehoused following the Grenfell Tower tragedy so they feel

supported in their homes and receive the highest possible standard of housing management services;

• To ensure we create more genuinely affordable homes in the borough;
• To ensure our residents feel positively involved in the design and delivery of housing services;
• To create good quality homes and neighbourhoods, which are energy efficient and environmentally sustainable;
• To help residents who need extra support to live independently in their homes for as long as possible;
• To ensure households get the specialist advice and support to prevent homelessness if needed and homeless families are supported to find suitable accommodation.

If you have the abilities to match our vision, we would be delighted to hear from you.
