Stockport Homes named no.1 Top Landlord in the UK after winning the 24Housing magazine vote.

Stockport Homes have been voted in the Top Ten Landlords for three years running having reached the number 2 spot for the past 2 years.

The ten shortlisted organisations campaigned to gather support in a bid to be named ‘Top Landlord.’ Stockport Homes ‘put Stockport on the map’ campaign was boosted by the support from their customers, their partners and their staff.

Chief Executive Helen McHale said, “Our vision at Stockport Homes is to transform lives and to offer the best services possible to our customers. Being recognised as the number one landlord in the country will help us to promote our approach, so helping the lives of tenants, customers and staff.

“We want to show the potential, true value and importance and worth of those living in social housing, to promote an approach to the management of Social Housing that does much more than just provide a decent home; but creates sustainable valued communities where people are supported in all aspects of their lives.”

Councillor Alex Ganotis, leader of Stockport Council, said “We’re very proud of what Stockport Homes has achieved – it delivers excellent services which go far beyond housing to help us reduce inequality in Stockport and this accolade is well deserved”.

Chair of the Board David Wright added, “To be acknowledged as the number one landlord is fantastic news for everyone involved with Stockport Homes including staff, volunteers and our customers. It highlights that people support the work we do and recognise we are doing great work to provide services that go beyond the traditional role of a landlord in order to help transform lives.”
