Elthorne (First) Tenant Co-operative

Housing co-operative

Elthorne (first) Tenant Co-operative is a resident (we have tenants, lease and free holders) managed co-op and was set up in 1979. On behalf of Islington Council, the co-op currently manages 139 properties which consist of 68 Lease- & Freeholders as well as 71 Tenanted units. The properties are housed within ten residential blocks and form together the Elthorne (first) Tenant Co-operative which is part of Elthorne Estate, located in the London Borough of Islington.

The Co-operative takes a hands-on approach to housing management and has earned an excellent reputation through effective management with the emphasis on local administration. We continue to build on our relationship with the Islington Council and strive to provide an effective and efficient service through both value for money and regular cost review exercises. This has become more important than ever before as local governments are seeking to save cost. While the current cost conscious environment has put a strain on resources, it has also made the Co-operative more streamlined and cost efficient.
