The Association owns 222 homes in Birkenhead, 66 in Wallasey, 64 in Port Sunlight and 8 in Bromborough.  They consist of 204 houses and 156 flats.  In terms of size, 138 of our homes have one bedroom, 91 have two bedrooms, 119 have three bedrooms and 12 have four or more bedrooms.

 

We have just completed a 5 year improvement programme costing over £2.7 million pounds that ensures all of our housing stock meets the Decent Homes Standard.
