We have recently purchased a further 112 affordable homes in Partington, Greater Manchester.
As we already own and manage around 1,300 socially rented properties across the neighbourhood, and have an established presence in the town, we were pleased to be able to acquire more, as part of our long-term portfolio strategy, focussing on homes for ‘general need’ social rent, across our core geographical areas.
This acquisition from L&Q allows us to further deliver on our commitment to ensure more people have a safe place to call home.
Aaron Hammersley, our Director of Housing, said, “Our aim is to offer a place where residents can live well and feel secure and connected to both their community and Your Housing Group. It’s a great opportunity for us to grow in Partington, as we already have an established community-led service in the area, with colleagues available twice a week, in-person, at our office, which reflects the size and scale of our presence in the area. Plus, we already have great working relationships with Trafford Council and existing business owners and social enterprises that operate across the neighbourhood.”
Your Housing Group’s CEO, Jacque Allen, added, “Partington is a community we’re proud to provide homes in. We love working with and supporting residents, partners, and the wider community already, so to be able to expand, and build on our already substantial local offer for more people, is something we are pleased to be able to do. We’ve recently invested over £9.9 million in building safety across many of our homes, and in Partington alone, we’ve also made over £3.8 million of improvements including new kitchens, bathrooms and windows, as we want to ensure everyone can have a safe place to call home.”
