Stonewater is one of the UK’s largest social housing providers, dedicated to creating places that people can truly call home. With 40,000 homes, we proudly serve more than 93,000 customers from diverse backgrounds across the country.
At the core of our mission as a registered social landlord is the commitment to safe, affordable housing for people of all ages and backgrounds. Guided by our Vision - that everyone should have the opportunity to have a place that they can call home - we offer homes for rent, shared ownership, and purchase. Our specialised services include retirement and supported living schemes for older and vulnerable people, safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, domestic abuse refuges, and young people’s foyers.
Our approach is rooted in becoming a truly customer-driven organisation, building relationships founded on respect, honesty, transparency, and a commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.
With an annual turnover of £239 million and £2.4 billion in fixed assets, Stonewater holds a strong credit rating from S&P Global Ratings and maintains top G1/V1 rankings for governance and viability.
As part of the Stonewater Group, encompassing both commercial and not-for-profit subsidiaries, we engage in a range of commercial activities to fuel our mission of providing homes for those who need them most. Stonewater is more than a housing provider—we’re building foundations for futures.
