Housing Advice
Our staff provide housing advice to applicants and tenants. For applicants, we will provide advice using the Housing Options model to ensure all possible options for housing are discussed. For tenants, staff will provide general advice and assistance on Housing and for more complex cases, we will signpost to GCC, Citizens Advice, Shelter and others for specialist advice.
Factoring Service
We provide a factoring service to over 1,200 owners, managing properties and supporting owners. We consult owners in terms of future investment and have a quarterly owner’s forum to discuss topics of interest. We benchmark our management fees against other local Housing Associations and our fees are very competitive within the sector and less than Private Factors.
