Stock Profile - The majority of our stock is tenement flats and we have more one and two bedroom flats (88% of all stock) than any other size and type of house. We do have some terraced houses in our new build stock however turn over is low and these house types are in very high demand.

 

Housing for Special Needs - We also have flats and houses that have been purpose built or adapted to meet special needs and some are suitable for wheelchair users with level access and barrier free interiors. Please let us know if you are disabled, or if you have a medical condition that affects the type of house that you need, so that we can do our best to meet your housing needs.

We seek to make our services as accessible as possible to all customers.  Our office at Samaritan House is fully wheelchair accessible, we provide bilingual services (Punjabi, Urdu & Hindi) and are able to provide Braille documents to the visually impaired.
