Ducane Housing Association


We are a specialist association providing homes for postgraduate students and key workers. Most of the students we house are from overseas and study at Imperial College.

The key workers are nurses, medical technicians and teachers working in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in west London and they comprise about 20% of our stock. We are only able to accept applications from single key workers at the moment.

With over 30 years experience we can claim to be the first key worker housing association. Click here for more on our history .

The Association owns and manages over 240 homes, mainly in two local authority areas, Hammersmith and Ealing.

Unlike many other housing associations, we provide furnished accommodation. We also have a much higher turnover of residents than many others and keep delivering excellent performance indicator results. Our maintenance service is provided by our direct labour force.

We have a reputation for providing high quality housing management and facilities management services. We also provide these accommodation and facilities management services for others. Click on the 'partners' menu bar above you can see some of the organisations we have worked with in the recent past.

We will be re investing in our stock to meet and exceed the Decent Homes Standard. The Board of the Association has ambitious plans to radically improve the Ducane Road 'estate'.

The tenants satisfaction survey for 2007 showed that 92.5% of Ducane tenants who responded to the annual survey were "very satisfied" or "fairly satisfied" with the overall service they received.
This was up on last years's figure of 86%.
