As a result, the borough will be looking to expand their portfolio in the coming years.
Sefton Council has responded to this expectation through the establishment of Sandway Homes, its wholly owned private housing development company. The handover is scheduled for April 2025 and allocation will be managed through Property Pool Plus - a platform set up to list available and affordable housing to rent in the areas of Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral, Runcorn or Widnes.
