We have a strong track record in successfully advising residential social landlords, local authorities, residential developers and other entities that operate in the social housing sector. We understand the sector, the challenges and the motivation to deliver the best and most appropriate housing solutions for our clients.
We are able to deliver a full service and have over 35 fee earners across a range of specialist areas currently advising our social housing clients in the following areas:
TIDEE
Using Stanford’s GIS as its core, TIDEE offers a web-based property management system which every member of staff can access from their desktop, saving time and resources. With details of title documentation including leases and licences, it also allows for other layers of information to be added such as ground maintenance and other associated information. With its simple reporting mechanism allowing reports to be generated in excel or PDF, TIDEE gives instant access to information that would traditionally have been difficult and expensive to find.
