Welcome

We are a loosely organised collective of leaseholders from properties managed by Lewisham Homes. We are not in any way affiliated with them. We're their customers — somewhat reluctantly, and sometimes begrudgingly.

According to their website, Lewisham Homes is 'an ambitious organisation set up to improve housing in the borough, currently managing 18,000 homes on behalf of Lewisham Council'. Nearly 5,000 of the properties they manage are leasehold properties (i.e. privately owned, often by the resident(s) of the property).

We love Lewisham (including Deptford, New Cross, Brockley, Forest Hill, etcetera). We love our estates, our homes, our neighbours, and our communities.

We first came together in June 2014 to address the major works underway on many of our estates. We were dissatisfied with how the programme of works was approached, how it was managed, and with how our concerns were being addressed by the management of Lewisham Homes.

We'll let you know how that turns out.
