Kingston Council General Fund Property Acquisitions

1 story · 1 council

Kingston Council is establishing a company to acquire homes, expanding its initial property acquisition project.

In November 2025, Kingston Council's Corporate and Resources Committee approved the formation of a wholly-owned company, a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG). This new entity is intended to acquire 150 homes to address the housing crisis and reduce reliance on expensive temporary accommodation.

The council planned to form the CLG in January 2026 and then commence the acquisition of properties. This initiative expands on the council's earlier project to acquire 50 homes through its General Fund by the end of December 2025.
