Key Workers Only!

Are you a key worker? Are you struggling to find decent rental accommodation? Are you finding it difficult to find appropriate house mates due to your profession??

As a key worker myself these are the problems I have faced over the years. In some emergency services staff have to declare who they reside with & all occupants personal details for vetting/ security clearance/ DBS purposes. How do you therefore find suitable house mates especially if you're new to an area, if your living circumstances have changed (eg a relationship break down), or if you just started out in your career? It’s vey difficult!

There is currently no assistance for key workers within the UK rental market, yet key workers are estimated to make up one third of the UK's current workforce. Key workers are finding it increasingly difficult to find suitable housing which has reportedly caused a huge problem with the recruitment & retention of staff in those professions. As a result, local workforce stability around the UK is greatly affected. A recent report by the NHS Homes Alliance noted that ’the lack of available affordable, quality homes in appropriate locations’ was ’a common theme’ impacting staff recruitment & retention. 

By providing Co-living solutions for solely key workers (Police, Fire & Rescue, Ambulance, NHS and Teachers), Black Flamingo Homes Ltd is creating safe & secure, high end accommodation, where the security checks have already been completed - thats one less worry!

Co-living also offers an affordable housing alternative by providing all-inclusive pricing that covers rent, utilities, and amenities, Plus in a world of remote working & digital isolation, Co-living encourages interaction through communal areas and social events. Whats not to love about that?!

Co-Living Facilities

The property offers six generous sized bedrooms, each with private ensuite, all designed to a high standard. Five bedrooms have tea stations comprising of kitchen cupboards, sink, worktop and fridge - bridging the gap between double room and Studio facilities.

You’ll share a fully equipped kitchen with modern, energy efficient appliances. There are 2 hobs, 2 ovens, dishwasher, large fridge/ freezer and plenty of cupboard space provided for all occupants. 

The basement consists of a utility room with 2 washers, a dryer and drying racks, plus a cinema space with projector that’s perfect for relaxing after long shifts or enjoying time together.

Two of the bedrooms include private off‑road parking, ideal for those working irregular hours. The property is also located within walking distance of main transport links making is easy to commute to and from the city centre.

Sustainability

On top of all of this, there is an environmental aspect to the project.

Conscious of the planet & the rising costs of energy bills, this home will use solar power & a renewable heating system (ASHP) to generate sustainable energy throughout. All appliances will aim to be above a B grade energy efficiency rating & the communal kitchen has a boiling hot water tap - so no kettle required!

All kitchen units / flooring are from companies using sustainable and recycled materials & contractors/ suppliers were all sourced locally, to reduce the carbon footprint of this project.

This home is more than just a place to stay — it’s a space built around community and the shared experience of key worker life.
