Working with Other Partners

Leasehold Retirement Housing has become a highly specialised area. Older Owners insist upon high standards and expect responsive cost efficient services at all times. For some Housing Associations and other organisations managing small or dispersed portfolios of retirement housing for sale continued management (particularly through generic services alongside rented stock), may be inappropriate. When costs are carefully examined, retirement management services may not be financially viable and at the same time create a distraction from corporate objectives.

We have considerable experience of stock and TUPE transfers and can help you through the process of a transfer.

By choosing Guardian as your Management partner, you can concentrate on building and selling your properties in the knowledge that Guardian will recruit necessary staff, prepare a suitable lease and advise on general layout and facilities which will add value to the development for all concerned.

As a developer you may have been granted planning permission that is subject to a Section 106 agreement (Town & Country Planning Act 1990), which will require you to provide affordable housing to the site.
