Situation
A number of flats on a housing estate (that were due to be redeveloped as part of a wider regeneration project) had social issues at the properties, including squatters. To tackle the issue, LOWE was instructed to manage a number of the flats on behalf of the local authority. At this property, we implemented our LOWEkey Prioritisation initiative, providing a number of key workers with an affordable rental solution close to their place of work.
Thurston House, Beckenham
Solution
- Carried out a risk assessment on all the appropriate properties and selected suitable flats across the estate.
- Placed carefully vetted property guardians within the property and introduced them to each other.
- Carried daily checks of the property to report off vandalism.
Outcome
- A cost effective, secure solution for the client while they work through the decanting of the estate.
- Reporting of anti-social behaviour to both the Local Authority and Police, ensuring the buildings were well maintained.
- Housing key workers with an affordable rental solution close to where they work.
