We support "Sustainable Communities: Homes for All" - the government's five year plan offering everyone, particularly first time buyers, keyworkers and social tenants, the opportunity of a decent home at a price they can afford. Our social housing team is working with providers responsible for delivering this objective.
We have over 40 years' experience of acting for the social housing sector. Indeed members of our team have been on the board of or worked in Registered Social Landlords (RSLs). As a result, we are familiar with and understand the aims and aspirations of our clients and the challenges they face. From developing complex brownfield sites with contentious planning aspects, to raising private finance to fund substantial developments or improvement programmes, to tackling anti-social behaviour - we can help.
When our clients want to merge or form a group structure we guide them through the legal and regulatory hoops, drawing on our familiarity with the requirements of the Housing Corporation and Charity Commission as well as the law.
We know how important involving tenants is to the success of stock transfers and housing regeneration schemes. To this end, we work with tenant groups and co-operatives on such projects.
When it comes to supported housing and the provision of care services we have specialists who help our clients comply with the minefield of registration and complex financial issues.
