Property Services

A charity with 30 years' experience in property management.

We are a team of housing professionals qualified in managing property and providing innovative management solutions, and advice for landlords. All the properties we manage are in the local area which means we can offer a personal, tailored service to landlords and our outstanding local reputation reflects this.

The maintenance team also provide an out of hours emergency service.
