Our New Homes team recently helped one family find their forever home. Last August, Mr and Mrs F* attended our community day in Peckham and advised they were looking to downsize into a smaller property after outgrowing their home in Peckham. They had tried to use Homeswap, but there were only a few options available to Wandle.
Our amazing BMH Project Officer Angeline Lewis got into contact with Mr and Mrs F* and advised she would assist them in finding them their new home.
In October 2023 Angeline organised a visit to a property in Tooting, but unfortunately it did not quite meet their needs. Angeline promised to continue searching for their new home and in April 2024, she found them a property in SE1. The couple viewed the property and immediately knew they had found their forever home, moving in the following June.
Mr and Mrs F* thanked everyone who was involved at Wandle, but in particular, Angeline for her hard work and guidance throughout the whole process.
Mrs F* said, ‘As Wandle tenants of nearly 40 years, we could never have imagined living in a property like this, and though it’s early days, it’s hands down the best home we have lived in. We are very happy and always look forward to coming home’.
