We were formed in October 1999 following a large-scale voluntary transfer from Liverpool City Council. We currently own and manage approximately 3,850 homes in the South Liverpool area, predominantly in Speke and Garston. 

But that’s just part of the story. Our biggest asset is our people – our customers and our colleagues. Since 1999 we’ve been on a mission to build great homes, strong communities, and bright futures, bringing customers along with us on our journey. We’ve built a team of passionate and committed colleagues, who care about south Liverpool and the communities that live here.  

We’re parent to Avela Services Limited, who in turn is the majority partner in our joint venture with Penny Lane Builders Limited, Avela Home Service. Avela Home Service is our unique and innovative partnership which is responsible for delivering our repairs and maintenance service.  

We are registered with the Regulator of Social Housing.
