About Us

North West Housing Services (NWHS) is one of the largest providers of services to housing
co-operatives, social enterprises and leaseholders in England.

Formed as NWHS in 2006, we have been working with the co-operative movement since 1976. With longstanding links to the housing co-operative and housing association movement, both locally and nationally, we are able to provide advice and keep our clients updated on latest developments and good practice.

We are rich in experience - our staff are not just knowledgeable, they have considerable expertise and extensive skills.

As a customer-led social business we provide high quality services to independent housing providers. We are committed to transparency, to ethically-based, innovative ideas and empowering our clients and their communities.

NWHS currently operates in Merseyside and Greater Manchester and has clients in:

Liverpool            Manchester
Sefton                Salford
Wirral                 Bolton
Knowsley

Enhanced support options

As well as these services, we are able to offer tailored consultancy and training on a wide range of subjects.

The extensive scope of the administrative services we offer and our comprehensive agency agreement provide a capability that is unmatched locally.

insurance or bank interest rates for our clients.
