Description
Local Space was created in 2006 as part of the solution to providing housing to London's homeless.

Since then, we have continued to grow, in 2016 we embarked on a purchasing programme of over 700 homes, and we have now begun another growth period which will increase the number of homes we manage.

We mainly operate in East London.

We are Local Space, a 2,800-home registered provider of social housing operating in East London & Essex. We are a G1 V2 rated RP (Registered Provider).

We are Investors in People accredited and are the only housing association to hold the sector's highest credit rating, AA-.


Originally formed by the London Borough of Newham as an innovative and independent vehicle for the acquisition and refurbishment of temporary accommodation.

We work in 8 London boroughs and across a variety of districts in Essex. We continue to buy and refurbish properties and added 300 homes to our stock last year. We also offer intermediate rented homes for local key workers.


We know that one of the best ways we can achieve greater quality of life for customers is to provide them with a home they can be proud of and deliver cutting-edge services that are a pleasure to use.

That's why we've tripled the size of our component replacement and planned works programmes and are making a major investment in the development of our repairs and online services over the next 4 years.
