smaller housing providers. This type of growth results in a wide range of housing stock and asset schedules over a large geographical area, which brings challenges of monitoring, managing and maintaining their portfolio. They currently have more than 10,000 properties and have a plan to build nearly 2000 additional homes over coming years.
