Housing Associations & Affordable Housing

All social housing that was previously provided by Wirral Council is now owned and managed by Wirral Partnership Homes and Beechwood and Ballantyne Community Housing Association. There are a number of other Housing Associations (HAs) that provide housing in Wirral.

Most Housing Associations who own property in Wirral are partners in the Wirralhomes scheme. Rents for these properties are generally lower than private rented properties and a variety of properties are offered.  These rents include Social Rent (usually around 50% of the cost a
private rent) and Affordable Rent, which the Government introduced from May
2011, and is around 80% of the cost of private rent

Properties are advertised weekly in the local newspapers, council offices and on the Wirralhomes website.  If you are interested in social housing you will need to register with Wirralhomes.

The current schemes list gives details of any affordable housing schemes currently being developed with properties to rent.
