Proposed transfer of Clarion’s homes in Great Yarmouth to Orwell Housing Association
We last wrote to you in April 2025 to inform you of our intention to transfer homes we currently own and manage in Great Yarmouth, to another reputable social landlord.
We are pleased to inform you that Clarion has reached agreement in principle with Orwell Housing Association Ltd (Orwell) to transfer all our homes in Great Yarmouth to them in September 2025. They were chosen through a rigorous evaluation process with the help of Clarion resident representatives.
Why are we proposing the transfer?
As a business for social purpose, Clarion continuously considers how it can help more people in housing need. In areas like Great Yarmouth, we believe our customers will benefit from the transfer of the stock to another reputable landlord, who has a long-term commitment to the area and provides a high-quality service to customers. This allows Clarion to invest the transfer proceeds to improve our existing stock and provide more new affordable housing.
Formal six-week consultation process
Now that we have selected a preferred new landlord, we are giving residents the opportunity to submit their comments and feedback through a formal consultation before a final approval from Clarion’s Board is sought on the proposed transfer.
The six-week formal consultation launched on Monday 28 July 2025 and will end on Friday 5 September 2025.
If you would like to share your views with us, please use the formal consultation feedback form and Freepost envelope that were recently posted to you.
To ensure we can respond to your queries or comments effectively we would be grateful to receive your response in advance of the closing date.
Once again, independent tenant advisors, Communities First, will be available to you throughout this consultation stage.
