We have flats, houses and bungalows suitable for single people, couples, families with children and older people. This includes sheltered and retirement living schemes with extra care services. We act as landlord to residents renting our properties. We also invest in and support communities to enhance the lives of those living in them. For those who cannot afford to buy a home outright we offer shared ownership or affordable full ownership.
