Below is a guide to the kind of homes we let and manage:

Sheltered housing is designed for older people who are able to live independently. Sheltered housing developments offer extra facilities. These include a lounge for meeting other residents and holding social activities, laundry facilites and emergency call system.

Mid-market rent homes

Mid market rent (or MMR) is an initiative from the Scottish Government to provide quality, affordable homes for low to moderate income households - usually those who would not qualify for social housing but can't afford to pay market rent or buy a property. WSHA's MMR homes are let by our commercial subsidiary Westscot Living and managed by WSHA. Find out more about Westscot Living and MMR here
