Bristowe (Fair Rent) Housing Association has completed a transfer of engagements  of 79 homes in the Bristol area to the Stonewater Group. 

Stonewater has been working together with Bristowe (Fair Rent) Housing  Association and its managing agent, BNS, over the last 10-12 months to ensure that  the transfer of the homes has been seamless for customers.  

The homes are a mix of general needs and leasehold rented flats, spread across five  different schemes around the Bristol area.  

The wider Southwest is one of Stonewater’s largest operating areas with over 11,500  homes. The Group also provides vital supported living accommodation in the area,  including a young people’s foyer in Exeter. 

Jonathan Layzell, Chief Officer for Customer Experience and Growth at  Stonewater, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Bristowe customers to the  Stonewater group through this transfer and expand our presence in what’s a key  area of operation for us. Like so many other places in the country, Bristol has an  acute shortage of good quality affordable housing and there are too many people,  waiting too long, for a home they can call their own. Stonewater is already tackling  the housing crisis head on, including significant investment in local development  around the Bristol area. We’re also proud to offer a great customer experience,  which now extends to all Bristowe’s former residents, and remain committed to  supporting in the local community.”
