About Our Properties

The Association manages a range of different properties. These properties include:

494 general needs and amenity units
13 sheltered units
507 total units

All our new properties, in line with current legislation, comply with Varying Needs Standards. This means that they are built to a standard which makes them suitable for tenants of all ages with a variety of different needs.

Our sheltered housing units, in addition to the above, have an on-call warden and an alarm system. The warden is the first point of call should a problem occur in the sheltered housing scheme.

More information on the housing schemes we currently manage is shown below.
