Affordable housing provider, Leazes Homes is currently part of the Your Homes Newcastle group and is planning to become a subsidiary and transfer the management of all of their homes to Karbon in July 2024.
Paul Fiddaman, Chief Executive of Karbon Homes Group said: “We’re pleased to have been selected by the board of Leazes Homes as its preferred partner. We’re now undertaking all relevant due diligence checks, which will then be followed by a consultation with Leazes Homes’ tenants.
“The aims and values of Leazes Homes very much align with our own – in terms of providing good-quality, affordable homes and local services in a shared geography as well as our focus on supported and specialist housing.”
Dawn Keightley, Chair of Leazes Homes Board added: “Our commitment to providing the best possible services to our tenants and communities remains our top priority, and we believe that Karbon is well-positioned to help us continue to do this. Karbon Homes is a well-known and trusted organisation with an excellent reputation within the area.
“We understand that change can be unsettling, but I’d like to assure our tenants that a thorough consultation process will be carried out with all Leazes Homes tenants to ensure that their opinions are heard and listened to in relation to the partnership.”
