In our commitment to find suitable housing options to meet the needs of retiring clergy, we very often signpost customers to other landlords and organisations that may be able to offer more suitable housing to meet their needs. If you would like to discuss this with us in more detail and talk through what options might be suitable for you, please call us on 0207 898 1824 or email [email protected].
