Raglan owns and manages over 10,900 homes in 95 local authority areas and we have a further 1900 at different stages of development, ranging from pre-site proposals to properties nearing completion.

Our development work involves building new homes in inner city, urban and rural areas. We also redevelop redundant brownfield sites and empty properties in support of town centre regeneration. In addition to new homes for rent, Raglan provides shared ownership properties and low cost homes for keyworkers.

In recent years we have introduced local working for all front line housing staff. They are supported by our Housing Services Centre (HSC) which offers residents a one-stop shop for all their housing enquiries. In the majority of cases the advisor taking the call will deal with the enquiry directly, for example if a resident is reporting a repair. With some issues, such as anti-social behaviour, the advisor will pass the enquiry to a specialist.

The HSC also deals with enquiries from prospective residents looking for rented accommodation.

Enquiries regarding our shared ownership properties are handled by our sales department based at our Bournemouth office.

Each area office has its own local housing staff - housing officers, surveyors and community initiative officers.


Our development managers, responsible for producing the 200 new homes identified in this year's development programme, are also based at the area offices, with a central development support function at head office.
