Aster Group

At Aster Group, we are committed to building homes and providing the secure, affordable foundations our communities need to thrive. We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and we work tirelessly to deliver high-quality housing services across the south of England and London.

Who We Are

We are a leading housing association with a social purpose. As a not-for-dividend business, we reinvest our profits back into our homes and communities, ensuring that our residents have access to safe, secure, and sustainable living environments. Our group includes specialist trusts such as Central and Cecil Housing Trust, East Boro Housing Trust, and Enham Trust, allowing us to provide tailored support for a diverse range of people.

What We Do

We own and maintain over 37,000 homes, offering a broad spectrum of housing and support services:

• Social & Affordable Housing: We provide rental homes that offer security and affordability for individuals and families in need.
• Shared Ownership: We help people step onto the property ladder through flexible shared ownership schemes.
• Specialist Housing: Through our partners, we provide supported living and accommodation for older people, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
• Community Investment: We fund projects and initiatives that improve neighbourhood well-being, combat social isolation, and support local employment.
• Repairs & Maintenance: We operate a robust maintenance service to ensure that every property we manage remains safe, energy-efficient, and comfortable for our residents.

Our Approach & Values

• Resident-First Focus: We place our customers at the heart of our decision-making, ensuring that our services are accessible, fair, and responsive.
• Sustainability & Growth: We are committed to building energy-efficient homes and reducing our environmental footprint while increasing the supply of new, affordable properties.
• Collaborative Partnership: We work closely with local authorities, government bodies, and charitable partners to address the complex housing challenges facing the UK.
• Social Responsibility: Our business model is rooted in the belief that quality housing is the cornerstone of a stable, healthy, and successful society.

Industry Role

We operate as a Housing Association and Social Developer. Our role is to act as a primary provider of essential housing infrastructure, managing the balance between asset development and social support. By providing stable housing and community resources, we help to reduce societal pressure on emergency services and local authorities.
