We’re committed to delivering the very best and highest-quality new affordable co-operative housing.

A housing co-operative is run for and by its tenant members. It’s similar to a housing association but you, as a co-operative tenant, actively manage your home and community.

You have to be a member of the co-operative to live in a co-op home. Our co-operatives have a one-off £1 joining fee and you must attend a monthly meeting, as a minimum, to help with the management of your co-operative.

Only you and your neighbours can be members of your co-operative. You all have equal rights and an equal say in how your co-operative is run. Your rent is regulated by the government and it’s usually lower than the market rate – it’s broadly similar to affordable and social rents.

How can we help housing co-operatives?

We’re the country’s leading provider of tenant designed and planned housing.

We have the expertise, technical skills and financial appraisal systems to empower you and your co-operative in the development process. We do this by involving you in the design and personalisation of your new home.
