About Us

Spire Homes is a leading provider of quality affordable housing in East Northamptonshire, Rutland and Wellingborough. We were formed in February 2001 to receive the transfer of housing stock from East Northamptonshire Council, to date we have spent over £66 million on improvements to homes. 

In February 2006, we formed a partnership with Rutland County Council to manage the housing service in Rutland.  In the summer of 2009, tenants voted overwhelmingly in favour to transfer the housing stock to us. We are planning on spending £21million on improvements over the next 5 years, with work starting on day one!

Following a consultation with tenants, Spire Homes have successfully gained charitable status. This means that from 1^st April 2011, Spire will operate as a charity, registered with the charities Commission. Gaining charitable status will allow Spire Homes to operate for the benefit of local communities and ensure that it helps those in most need, and more money can be invested in managing their existing homes and building new affordable housing.

Tenants are involved in key decisions and are helping to make neighbourhoods and estates nicer places to live.  We have just been allocated £1.8million to provide new homes for rent and shared ownership.

Employing over 125 people, with a total of 4,800 homes including sheltered and supported housing schemes, Spire Homes’ staff represent a ‘can do’ culture who aspire to be the first choice for quality homes and services and to make a positive difference to people’s lives.

Spire Homes is part of the Longhurst Group - a leading provider in housing and care.  While we retain our local independence, we benefit from the shared financial strength and the broad knowledge and expertise of the Group. See where Spire operates and where each member company has housing stock.
