In April 2016 our new scheme, Kent Court, was handed over to the Society by the builders (Skillcrown Homes). The development of 12 flats was fully let within a week of the handover. Sutton Housing Society funded the acquisition of the site (a derelict factory) and the redevelopment from it’s own reserves. All of the flats have level access showers and access to Wi-Fi. The flats provide badly needed social housing for rent and the building significantly improves the local environment.
The development was named after Steve Kent. Steve served the Society as a trustee and a voluntary Board and Committee Member for over 20 years until his retirement in March 2016.

“We wanted to move down from Manchester to the Sutton area of London to be near to our daughter and granddaughter. We joined Sutton’s Housing Waiting List and was very happy to receive a call from the Housing Team saying that we had been shortlisted for a new development called Kent Court in Hackbridge. We have now lived here for 4 months and it is the best move we could have made. The size and layout of our flat is perfect for the two of us and the location, with nearby shops, bus routes and train station, makes it easy for us to get around. We are so pleased that we made that first step and applied to go onto Sutton’s Waiting List and grateful to Sutton Housing Society for offering us this lovely property.”
