Expert advice for investors, providers and local authorities
MYSHON is the UK’s leading and most trusted specialist housing management company. Our consultancy team brings that day-to-day operational experience to investors, Registered Providers, local authorities, care providers and charities who need clear, practical advice on specialist and social housing.
We advise on new schemes, existing portfolios and organisations going through change, from early feasibility and due diligence through to restructuring, mobilisation and long-term performance improvement. Because we run thousands of properties ourselves, our recommendations are grounded in what works on the ground.
