Barrhead Housing Association is a locally-based provider of quality, affordable, rented housing. Set-up as a registered social landlord in 1986, the Association’s aim was to improve the tenemental properties in the centre of Barrhead. The Association now owns over 750 flats and houses throughout East Renfrewshire, although mainly in Barrhead, Neilston and Thornliebank.

The Association provides accommodation for general and specialised housing including sheltered housing, wheelchair housing and housing for the elderly. The Association became a registered charity in 2004.

The Association is run by a Management Committee made-up of local tenants and residents and housing professionals. As members of the Association, the Committee of Management is elected at the Association’s Annual General Meeting. The Management Committee meet regularly to ensure that the Association is in control of its strategic direction, its commitments and its service to tenants and residents.

The Association welcomes applications from all sections of society and values the contribution made by our hard working Committee to improving the services that are delivered to all residents and prospective residents.

Latest News

Barrhead TV   The Association recently launched its own tv network.  Screens have been installed in Barrhead and Neilston Libraries, Auchenback Resource Centre and the Association's reception.  This gives the Association the opportunity to promote our services to our residents across a wider audience.

Rent Off The Shelf (ROTS)   Barrhead Housing Association has been provided with funding to buy back ex-East Renfrewshire Council and ex-Scottish Homes properties in the Eastwood area, particularly Thornliebank, Busby and Eaglesham. This is to assist the need for more properties for rent as a result of the Council’s pressurised area status that restricts Right to Buy for tenants.

If you live in an ex Council or Scottish Homes property and you are thinking of selling, and would like to discuss this further, please contact the Association at the above address for details. If interested, we will arrange to visit your home and discuss whether we can proceed.
