Who are we?

Moat is one of the top 30 housing associations in the UK with 20,000 homes spread across south east London, Kent, Essex and Sussex and we continue to develop new homes at an impressive rate too – last year we delivered 664 and we are aiming for another 3,000 by 2020.

Have a look through our feeds and see how we did it – it’s a great example of the amazing group of people we have here, who will always go that extra mile and enjoy every minute of it!
