The health and wellbeing of our residents and our employees is our top priority.
We continue to follow the latest government advice surrounding the Coronavirus (Covid-19) situation in the UK and are adapting our service to best serve our customers and protect residents and staff during this time.
With new national restrictions for England announced from Tuesday 5 January 2021, we have updated our FAQs. These will be updated as the current situation and advice continues to evolve.
If you have any other questions, please contact a member of our team on email or phone and we will answer as best as we can.

We recognise that Coronavirus has had an impact on personal finances for many, and that some residents may be feeling anxious about rent payments over the coming months. If you are worried about making rent payments, please do get in touch with our Relationship Management team.
Please note that for us to assist with any hardship requests, our team may ask for evidence of your position, for example payslips or communication from your employer regarding the changes to your employment.
Further advice for renters in the context of Coronavirus can be found on the government website.
Where possible we have closed our resident amenity spaces within our buildings and have placed signage advising people not to congregate in areas that need to stay open for access.
Currently courtyards and parks within our neighbourhoods remain open for exercise and we are asking residents to use these spaces responsibly, observing social distancing of two metres with anyone not in their household.
For those who are self-isolating in line with government advice, we would appreciate it if you could continue to update our teams. This information will be kept in confidence and helps protect our teams so we can ensure that we do not send any of our staff to your home to undertake routine tasks, such as maintenance, and means we can help you with services such as rubbish collection.
Advice for those who are in self-isolation can be found here. For further official advice on Coronavirus please check
