Working for A Better Choice for Property Limited

A Better Choice for Property was incorporated in April 2014 as Ashford Borough Council’s own residential property company. Our aim is to build a private market rental portfolio of up to 500 properties which will not only provide A Better Choice for Property for our working tenants but also a significant additional revenue stream to the council.

While the focus is on the fast-growing town of Ashford, the company is not geographically constrained and could consider opportunities outside the borough. Of particular rental interest are new build one and two bed flats, and two and three bed houses but the company is open to buying for private market sale.

The team

A Better Choice for Property is located at the Civic Centre in Tannery Lane, Ashford.

The company is led by the Commercial Development Manager, supported by two job sharing Business Support Managers, a Business Support Officer and an Operations Manager. The work of the company is supported by a highly effective company finance function and communications expertise currently commissioned from Ashford Borough Council.
