Social housing

Social housing is available for rent to people in need at rents lower than an open market rent. In Rushcliffe, all social housing is owned and managed by not-for-profit companies called housing associations. The Council does not own any council housing. This was all transferred to Rushcliffe Homes (which is now part of Metropolitan (Spirita)) in 2003. There are also a number of other housing associations with a presence in the Borough, who work with us to meet the housing needs of local people.

If you have an enquiry about the management of former council properties (for example, rent, repairs or estate maintenance), you will need to Contact Metropolitan (Spirita).

If you want to rent a property in Rushcliffe from a housing association, you will need to register and apply through the Homesearch Choice Based Lettings scheme.

Housing associations also offer accommodation specifically for older people, some intermediate housing (such as shared ownership) and some specialist housing, such as supported properties for people with certain disabilities.

You can see what affordable housing is provided by downloading the Affordable Housing Directory, which is updated every year. The directory also has the contact details of all housing associations working in Rushcliffe.
