Rented Housing Brochure

What will my new home be like? Our rental properties include mainly studios and one-bedroom flats, with a limited number of two and three-bedroom flats and bungalows. Properties are allocated based on your household size. A studio flat is easy to manage and homely. It can be ideal if you’re looking to downsize to a smaller property. You’ll have your own kitchen, spacious bathroom, bedroom/lounge, entrance hallway and lots of in-built storage. In a one, two or three-bedroom property or bungalow you’ll have your own separate kitchen, bathroom, lounge and bedroom(s). Independence and peace of mind Maintaining your independence is important to us and we pride ourselves on providing a warm, safe and comfortable setting. Your home will be completely self-contained, with your own front door and the option to decorate as you wish. Most properties have access to our 24-hour emergency call service and secure door entry system, alongside a manager to oversee estate services such as building maintenance, repairs and gardening.

You’ll also find a range of shared facilities to complement each private residence such as a lounge and attractive gardens where you can relax and spend time with friends. Note that some properties may not have access to the same shared facilities. What will my costs be? Your monthly payment will include the rent for your property, as well as the service charge. This covers the cost of the amenities you share with your neighbours, such as the manager service, the 24-hour emergency call service, repairs and maintenance services, window cleaning, gardening and the heating, lighting and upkeep of shared areas. The money you pay will vary depending on where you live and what services you receive. You’ll be given clear information on these charges when you view a property. You’ll be responsible for your own council tax, phone bills and electricity bills.
