Our group members let over 3,000 homes every year and own property across the North West of England and the Midlands. Our homes are maintained to the highest standard and backed by quality customer services. We offer a large range of affordable property types available in urban and rural locations. These range from two and three bed or even larger homes for families, studio, one and two bed apartments for singles or couples and bungalows. We also offer retirement living properties specifically designed to cater for the needs of older people.
Each week, we have a number of homes that are readily available to let now. We update this list at least once a week and new homes are added. You can check for new properties on our website, on Rightmove or use the Connect contact centre service to contact us. The eligibility criteria for these homes are included in the description of each property advertised. These properties are available on first come, first served basis.
To rent one of our other properties you will need to register for property alerts with us to join our marketing list or to your local authority who can nominate you to us typically through what's called a Choice-Based Lettings scheme.
Some group members also operate a number of Local Lettings Policies depending on location. There are currently four main ways to access homes from Adactus HA, Beech HA and Chorley CH:-
- If you wish to live within the City of Manchester, through Manchester City Council's Choice-Based Lettings scheme called Manchester Move.
- If you wish to live within Chorley Borough, South Ribble or Preston City, through their Choice-Based Lettings scheme called Select Move.
- If you wish to live within Sefton Borough, through their Choice-Based Lettings scheme called Property Pool Plus.
- For all other areas where we have stock, you can register with us for property alerts. You will then receive a text each time a property meeting your requirements is advertised on our website.
To be eligible to apply to us you need to be:- 18 years or older (or over 16, subject to a separate assessment).
- A UK Citizen or have indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
-
Typical average weekly rents are:
Example property

Adactus Housing Association also offers some properties for rent at Affordable Rents. These rents are typically charged at 80% of the market rate in that particular area.
-
In defining overcrowding, the Association considers it reasonable that the following people require their own bedroom.
- Couple in a relationship and living together
- Single parent
- Adult aged 18 years or over
- Person with supported / documented medical grounds for their own room
- Child over 10 years of age not to share with the opposite sex
- More than two children sharing a bedroom
- Members of seperate households living in one property
- Children of the same sex with an age difference of 10 years and over.
-
We manage the following types of properties:
- Mainly two and three bed houses for families, with some four, five and six bed houses
- Studio apartments and one or two-bed flats for singles or couples
- Sheltered Housing and Retirement Living for older people.
- 1, 2 or 3 bed bungalows
All of our properties have fitted kitchens and bathrooms. Some have gardens, intruder alarms and warden call systems. All of our properties (apart from some supported accommodation) are unfurnished. -
Our homes are primarily allocated to people with Housing Need. In addition to this, we also operate a number of Local Lettings Policies. This allows us to make rehousing offers that fit with local community needs, for example we can offer in these areas priority to working households and people with community connections.
We have nominations agreements with all Local Authorities where we have stock and a number of our empty homes are set aside for nominations from Local Authorities such as Manchester City Council, Chorley Borough Council and Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council. This ensures that reasonable preference is given to applicants in greatest need such as homelessness applicants, people fleeing Domestic Violence, overcrowding and applicants with medical needs.
When an allocation is made, either through a nomination or a direct offer from us, we aim to develop stable communities and that preference is also given to applicants with a local connection to the area, either through work and family connections.
-
When one of our homes becomes empty, we carry out refurbishment works to ensure it meets our agreed Relet Standard. Most if not all works are completed when the property is empty, including replacement of kitchens and bathrooms where necessary. In most instances, we also offer a moving in decorating package, whereby decorating vouchers worth up to £280 (for a three bedroomed house) are provided.
-
When a property becomes empty, we endeavour to offer it out as soon as possible. The initial offer is made on a 'provisional' basis in that we occassionally have to withdraw an offer if for example the outgoing tenant withdraws their notice, or in emergency circumstances such as fire or flood where we need to urgently rehouse a tenant.
Once the offer of accommodation is confirmed, we will invite you in for a Let Interview where final eligibility checks are made and keys released. This interview typically takes around 1 hour where the Tenancy Agreement (the contract between the Association and you) is explained.
We monitor tenancies in the first 12 months and if any tenants have support needs we will make all necessary referrals.
