About us
Performance and Financial information

Performance
We continue to retain our four green traffic lights from the Housing Corporation, which demonstrates our financial strength and our excellent performance in housing management, development and governance.

Two Castles Housing Association is a member of Spirit, one of the strongest and best-performing partnerships of its kind in the UK. Spirit has helped to secure our future development status and together with our five fellow members we have bid for over £40m worth of development grant from the Housing Corporation.

Finance
Two Castles is committed to investing in provision of affordable homes and sustainable communities through an ambitious development programme.

In 2005, we finalised an £18m refinancing deal which will save hundreds of thousands of pounds for investment in high quality, low cost homes.

By refinancing 90% of its loan portfolio and completion of deals with Abbey National Treasury Services (ANTS) and Barclays Bank, we will save £500,000 per annum in interest payments over the next 11 years. Lower borrowing costs and revised covenants means we can access more of our potential £40m untapped loan capacity on top of our existing £20m loans.

We have also signed up with the award-winning Fusion 21 to maximise our buying power in the purchase of boilers, doors and windows and to make considerable savings on repairs and maintenance. This has already delivered considerable cost savings and improved performance.
