We are recognised as a pioneer in digital housing services, with almost 80% of all tenant transactions online and 91% of tenants signed up to our tenant portal. Our tenant-facing technology is at the cutting edge of the sector, including a 24/7 digital lettings service, a centralised hub – integrated with a variety of 3rd parties – to provide everything from repairs and maintenance through to live chat and support, and AI-powered call summarisation technology. We are driving a digital-first culture by enabling high online engagement to ensure we continue to provide first-class affordable rented homes combined with excellent customer care, support and maintenance services.

Although it’s a digital-first business, we have a welcoming office in the beautiful market town of Haddington, East Lothian—home to a vibrant team of colleagues.
