Transfer of Family Mosaic homes to Innisfree Housing Association

One of our new properties in Camden

Discussions with Family Mosaic began some 18 months ago and culminated in April 2009 with the acquisition by Innisfree of 48 homes in Camden. We have now exceeded our long-standing goal of more than 500 properties in ownership.

Camden Councillor Chris Naylor said:

“We welcome Innisfree supporting the residents in their choice to change their landlords. It is good to see housing associations working together to rationalise their stock in areas where they only have a few properties. This enables smaller housing associations in those areas to benefit from the transfer of stock and become more sustainable as well as providing locally based services to tenants. I thoroughly support this deal and add my congratulations to Innisfree”.
