Testimonials

We are still in love with our new home. We waited a long time for a house but it was well worth the wait! We are very fortunate to have such a big garden too! We find the staff at Hjaltland Housing very helpful and friendly. Any problems have been dealt with as quickly as possible.

Tenants response to our development survey

"The workmen were helpful, tidy and as non-disruptive as possible. Cheerfully working in all weathers and clearing the site of any bruck or debris (not that there was much) every day at close of work=4 Stars"
