The Portfolio
The Diocese has a portfolio of residential operational property (clergy homes) and land and property investment holdings. The overall portfolio is valued in excess of £65 million and made up of 259 buildings and 3,000 acres of glebe land. The Property Manager (Diocesan Surveyor) has responsibility for the Diocese’s occupied residential assets (homes of the clergy) including circa 250 buildings with a valuation of £62m with the support of members of the property team. The team supports clergy and their families with accommodation appropriate to their needs and, as far as possible, relieves them of domestic concerns in order that they may concentrate upon their pastoral responsibilities. The property department is committed to delivering a high standard of service to its occupiers. The Property Team runs a programme of inspections, repairs and improvements to raise the standard of diocesan clergy housing stock. This is realised through strong relationships with external contractors, builders, and architects. The Property Team is often a first point of contact with clergy arriving into the diocese. It maintains contact with clergy and their families to ensure their housing needs are met. The annual budget for repairs and improvements is over £1m.
