Setting New Standards in Property Management
Championing ethical practices and transparency since the 1980s
Our Story & Values
When we established Home From Home in the 1980s, we witnessed an industry riddled with unethical practices and a lack of transparency. Today, while many of these issues persist in lettings (and especially Residential Block Management) we've remained steadfast in our commitment to doing things differently; ethically.
Unlike traditional agents who often prioritise profits over people, we've built our reputation on integrity, transparency, and genuine care for our clients. Our journey from managing a single property to becoming one of Swindon's most trusted property management companies has been guided by these principles.
We're not just talking about change - we're actively creating it. Our team has worked alongside politicians to advocate for leaseholders' rights in Block Management and has successfully challenged industry-wide sharp practices that unfairly burden property owners and tenants.

The Ethical Difference

We advocate for fair treatment of both landlords and tenants, ensuring transparent fees and honest communication throughout.
We actively champion our clients' rights, challenging industry practices that don't serve their best interests.
Industry Leadership
We've earned our reputation as "active champions for leaseholders' rights" through consistent action, not just words. Our team has successfully challenged major developers and management companies, leading to positive changes in industry practices.
When we see unfair practices, we don't just look the other way. We've been called "Whistle Blowers" because we're not afraid to speak up against industry practices that exploit property owners and tenants. This commitment to integrity has led to real changes, including improvements in how major developers like Bovis Homes operate.
By treating every relationship as a long-term partnership, we ensure both landlords and tenants receive exceptional service that goes beyond traditional property management. Our partnerships have resulted in tenancies spanning over 30 years and landlords who've trusted us since our inception.
Residential Block Management
We also provide comprehensive block management services, ensuring efficient operation and maintenance for residential blocks with the same ethical approach.
