Who We Serve

Built around the people who place, and the people placed.

01

Local Authorities

Homelessness and housing solutions teams needing suitable accommodation, assessed against a published compliance standard, that they can place a household into with confidence.

02

Registered Providers

Housing associations looking to supplement their own TA stock with a partner who can evidence compliance as readily as they can supply units.

03

Referral Partners

Support services, outreach teams and care providers who need a dependable route into safe, self-contained accommodation for the people they work with.

Our Difference

Every unit sits on a ledger, not just a listing.

Before a property is offered to a placing authority, it is assessed against a published compliance standard — so what's offered comes with a clear compliance tier attached from the outset.

Coverage

A growing portfolio across England.

From established city streets to newer developments across the country, every property we bring onto the register is matched to a compliance tier before it's offered — regardless of where it sits.

About Ashpoint Group

A temporary accommodation partner built the way councils actually procure.

We work across all types of temporary and emergency accommodation — so placing authorities have one partner for the range of accommodation they need, not a different provider for each.

Our Mission

Reduce the distance between a household in crisis and a safe, compliant home.

Ashpoint Group exists to give local authorities and registered providers a supply of temporary accommodation assessed against a published compliance standard — with the relevant certification confirmed for each property before it is offered.

We are building a portfolio across England, structured from day one around the standards commissioners actually audit against.

Why Councils Choose Us

Three things procurement teams tell us matter most.

01

Evidenced compliance

Units are matched to a published tier — Basic, Standard or Enhanced — so the relevant compliance standard is attached from the first enquiry, as standard practice.

02

Full-range TA provision

We cover the range of temporary and emergency accommodation types a placing authority needs, all assessed against the same published compliance standard.

03

Responsive management

A named point of contact per authority, clear repair SLAs, and a management style built for the pace homelessness teams actually work at.

Our Values

Dignity is a specification, not a slogan.

Compliant by default. Nothing is offered below Basic Level Compliance — that's the floor, not an upsell.

Transparent by design. Councils are assessed against the same published compliance tiers we work from.

Accountable in practice. A single point of contact, clear SLAs, and a paper trail for every property from onboarding to move-out.

Portfolio

A range built around what a placement actually needs.

From studio units to larger family homes, every property in the Ashpoint Group portfolio is self-contained by default and specified against occupancy, not just headcount.

Unit type	Max. occupancy	Configuration	Typically suited to
Studio	1	Self-contained	Single adults, couples
1 bedroom	2	Self-contained	Couples, small households
2 bedroom	4	Self-contained	Small families
3 bedroom	6	Self-contained	Families
4+ bedroom	8+	Self-contained	Larger families
Room-only (by arrangement)	1	Shared facilities	Single adults, where appropriate

Standards Across Every Unit

Consistent regardless of size or borough.

01

Furnished & equipped

Beds, white goods and basic furnishings are put in place before move-in as standard practice.

02

Condition-checked

A digital inventory and condition report accompanies each unit, agreed before occupation and at handback, as standard practice.

03

Compliance-matched

Units are matched to a compliance tier as part of onboarding — see the Compliance & Standards page for what each tier covers.

Data handling & retention terms

This schedule sets out our published standard, not a live register of individual properties. The compliance pack for a specific property is issued, and confirmed in writing, before that property is offered.

On Request

Documentation supplied alongside each offer.

When we propose a property, the relevant compliance documentation is issued alongside the specs, as standard practice. Placing authorities can request the specific certification for any unit before confirming a placement.

How It Works

From brief to move-in, in six defined steps.

The process is the same whether you're placing one household or managing volume across a homelessness team — structured so nothing is left for either side to chase.

01

Enquiry & brief

Tell us the household type, location, unit size and any specific requirements. Most enquiries are acknowledged the same day.

02

Property matching

We check available and pipeline units against your brief, filtered by compliance tier as well as size and location.

03

Offer & compliance pack

You receive property specs, photos and the relevant compliance documentation together, as standard practice.

04

Inspection & sign-off

Properties can be inspected in person or reviewed virtually before you confirm the placement.

05

Move-in

A digital inventory and condition report is agreed before the household moves in.

06

Ongoing management

Repairs, inspections and re-certification are managed on a published schedule for the life of the placement.

Every Step, On File

Nothing left for either side to chase.

Each stage of the process — brief, match, offer, inspection, move-in, management — is logged against the property and the placement, so status is easy to confirm on request at any point.
