Working closely with local authority partners, we are a major provider of low cost homeownership products and services, helping thousands of first time buyers onto the property ladder.

Customer service

We provide top quality neighbourhood management services, placing our customers at the heart of all we do.

We have recently set up a single customer services department which is now responsible for all housing and customer-facing activities. We believe that bringing all these services into a single unit will help us significantly improve our service to residents.

In 2011, almost 2,000 Catalyst customers took part in our latest satisfaction survey. Three-quarters of our tenants are satisfied with our overall services, and 80% rate our customer services team as ‘good’.

Resident involvement

Local residents play a key role in shaping and improving our services.

Low cost homeownership

As well as managing, marketing and selling our own homes we are also a major provider of low cost homeownership services for local authority partners – helping thousands of first time buyers onto the property ladder.

We helped develop the successful My Choice HomeBuy scheme. We also created the financial package for the government’s Mortgage Rescue Scheme, helping to prevent repossessions for families in financial crisis.

Today we work closely with local authorities to create and co-fund locally tailored products such as equity loans.
