The Long Term Future - to ensure the long term future of Derby Homes

300 staff from the Council’s housing services department were transferred to Derby Homes Limited when it was created by Derby City Council in 2002.

Over the following five years we brought housing under our management up to the Decent Homes standard and have invested over £15million in creating cleaner, greener neighbourhoods. In 2007 we were successful in renewing our contract for another five years and will continue to manage and maintain Council Housing until 2012.  Derby Homes is committed to continually improving its services and exploring ways of expanding its business to new customers.

We already manage 100 housing association properties in Derby and are working with the Council to build new homes on unused Council owned land. We aim to make bids to the Housing Corporation for grant funding to assist us with building new affordable homes in the city.
