 Waverley
Housing (CHR)
Waverley Housing (CHR) is a tenant-controlled organisation whereby a
majority of the Directors on its Board must be tenants from within the
houses owned by the Company. The organisation was established in 1992
as a landlord through the first Large Scale Voluntary Transfer in Scotland.
The Company has become a major landlord in the social rented housing sector
of the Central Scottish Borders and provides homes to rent for general
needs purposes. It was originally established as two companies but now
operates as one since both Waverley companies (Management and Trust) merged
to a new single entity on 1st July 2001.
The Company’s objective is the provision of good quality housing
for rent at affordable rents under secure conditions of tenancy, and their
aims include:
- Developing a strong housing stock base through rationalisation, renewal
and growth.
- Continuing commitment to neighbourhood management by being representative
of the communities we serve.
- Developing partnerships with all current and future stakeholders including
Communities Scotland.
- Responding to tenants requirements and new opportunities with innovative
and appropriate solutions.
The company has an active Tenant Participation Policy and liaison between
tenants and Board Members is conducted through a network of Tenant Representatives.
The company owns and manages just over 1600 properties for rent and
operates an open waiting list based on a group plus points needs assessed
Allocations Policy.
Waverley Housing (CHR) is not, as yet, a registered social landlord
but has operated voluntarily and contractually as a social landlord since
its foundation. The company is however currently pursuing registration
with Communities Scotland.
More information, including stock details and rental charges can be found
in the Guide to Housing Options.
