MHO was established in 1981 as a non-charitable housing association to provide low cost home ownership and has since helped over 26,000 people into homes of their own. In 2003 we became a part of the Metropolitan Housing Trust (a Metropolitan Housing Partnership business), which is charitable.
Our purpose is:
To create and to market affordable housing services, products and choices for low and moderately paid working households.
Values
We believe in:
- Providing good quality homes and services to those who want to own a stake in their own home
- Building or offering homes which people want to live in and that contribute to the sustainability and attractiveness of the environment
- Enabling the people we serve to have as much involvement as they choose to have in the services we offer and in the management of their home and community
- Working in partnership with MHP and its residents to provide better housing and stronger communities
- Being commercially successful so that the surpluses we generate can be efficiently reinvested to continually improve our value as a social business
- Encouraging creative solutions from staff, customers and stakeholders to improve our business and to improve the quality of life in the communities we work in
- Creating tolerant, culturally diverse communities and workplaces where people of all backgrounds can and will be encouraged to develop
- Valuing and developing our staff as the key asset of the organisation.
We support the MHP mission:
- "Working with residents for better homes and stronger communities"

We would recommend that, for ease of contact, you use English speaking family members, friends, colleagues, legal or other advisers to help you through the process of buying your home but can offer an interpreter service where necessary.
