About the business

A residential property business built around accommodation need

Schreiber Oakwood buys, sells, owns and lets residential property, working with local authorities and housing associations to provide suitable accommodation.

Safe and suitable homes

We buy, own and let residential property with one test in mind: is it a home someone can settle into? Properties are maintained to a premium standard so accommodation placed through us stands up to scrutiny.

Reliable partnerships

Councils, local authorities and housing associations need partners who answer, follow through and keep arrangements straightforward. We work in a friendly, professional way from first enquiry to completed leasing arrangement.

Long-term thinking

Accommodation pressure is not a short-term problem, so we plan around sustained demand — sourcing and holding residential stock that supports homelessness prevention over years, not weeks.

Our mission

Accommodation that helps prevent homelessness

Demand for suitable temporary accommodation continues to grow, and authorities need residential property they can rely on. Our role is straightforward: make good homes available to the organisations responsible for housing people, and keep those arrangements dependable.

  • Homes, not just housing stock

    Every property is considered on whether it offers a decent standard of living for the household placed there.

  • Support for statutory duties

    Our accommodation is provided with local authority homelessness prevention and temporary accommodation requirements in mind.

  • Consistency councils can plan around

    Reliable communication and clear arrangements, so accommodation planning is not left uncertain.
