Products and services designed to order
Our original purpose in 1999 was to develop a choice based lettings (CBL) system for local authorities in West London so that they could free up internal resources for front line housing support activity.
We have continued to develop the original CBL concept and now offer a suite of web-based products that provide the backbone of housing option services delivered by councils and their housing association partners across the country.
However, new products are constantly being created in order to reflect the dynamic requirements of each scheme – each of which has a different configuration of modules and enhancements.
The mutual exchange service allows social housing tenants across the UK to swap their homes for free.
