Accommodation for councils: households and project teams.

Councils need two kinds of accommodation from a supplier like us. One is whole homes for households they have a duty to house. The other is beds for the teams delivering council projects.

How it works

Two services for councils

Whole homes for households

Self-contained homes in the West Midlands, offered for whole-home placements with the council as the counterparty. Never room by room.

Workforce accommodation

Homes near council projects for contractors, engineers and site teams, anywhere in the UK.

One point of contact

One conversation for both, with terms in writing before any placement.

Worth knowing

Whole-home placements

What is in place before a household moves in.

  • A self-contained home with its own kitchen and bathroom
  • Written consent from the lender, the freeholder and the insurer naming council placements
  • Current gas, electrical and energy certificates
  • A fire risk assessment and working detection suited to the property
  • A stay length agreed with the council
