The term key worker means people in areas of employment that are recognised to have difficulty buying a home. Individual councils set the definitions of who key workers are differently. In Hounslow, key workers means everyone who lives or works in the borough of Hounslow on a moderate income, which is everyone on a household income of less than approximately £35,000.
There are some schemes that meet the government's definition of key worker groups. Details of these schemes and the eligibility criteria are available through the Housing Options website.
We are working in partnership with Housing Options, the gateway for all affordable housing in London and is the one stop shop for all east, north, and west London boroughs. It allows public sector tenants, keyworkers and first-time buyers further opportunities to own a home of their own. The aim is to provide a one-stop shop of affordable home ownership products.
