What we do is about more than just bricks and mortar. We invest in the communities we work with and care about the people who live in our homes. We want you to be able to live happily there and build a strong and positive future.
These pages contain everything you need to know about Sovereign’s services and how we, and our partners, can support you with a range of issues.
We’ve gathered lots of useful advice and information into topic ‘hubs’ to help you find it more easily.
The hubs include information about repairs, safety in your home, and rent and service charges.
There are also hubs about how to get help with any concerns (such as anti-social behaviour) or access money, jobs and training support.
There are also three hubs with information specific to different customers: tenants, market rent tenants, and leaseholders or shared owners.
