Investing in existing homes
This year’s planned maintenance programme
was spread across Northern Ireland and
included investment in all our housing types.
There was significant investment across
general family homes in this reporting
period, including refurbishment of properties
in Portrush, South Link in Belfast, and the
Stewartstown Road in Belfast.
This year also saw the commencement of
our largest refurbishment to date at Fitzroy
Court in Belfast which will see an investment
of over £2m over a two-year programme.
Early 2025 also marked the completion of
the former Victoria Homes refurbishment
programme. After almost 4 years of work and
an investment of £15m, the initial project is
now complete.
