Furnished Homes Service

We offer a furnished homes service. Certain tenants can benefit from the service which provides a choice of furniture, appliances, curtains and floor coverings from a specified range up to a certain value when they move into their property.

About The Furnished Homes Service

The furnished homes service is available to Introductory Tenants, vulnerable tenants, and under certain circumstances existing tenants who do not have enough furnishings to meet their needs. They sign an agreement to pay a weekly furniture charge that is added to the rent.

If you have a furnished home an inventory is taken at the commencement of your tenancy. You are responsible for the upkeep of all furniture and fittings. Officers from the Furnished Homes Service will visit regularly to check that everything is being properly cared for and to arrange any necessary repairs or replacements.

If you decide to end your tenancy the inventory will be checked again and you must make sure that all furniture and fittings are left to an acceptable standard.
