CHURCHILL HOUSING REAL ESTATE (CHRE) LIMITED

What CHURCHILL HOUSING REAL ESTATE (CHRE) LIMITED does

Churchill Housing Real Estate Services is a privately held, founder/partner-run UK property management firm established in 2012 and headquartered at 8 The Hazels, Gillingham, Kent. The company specialises in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) letting and management, guaranteed rent arrangements for landlords, serviced accommodation, corporate accommodation, and professional houseshare lettings, operating primarily across Croydon, Kent, and Greater London.

The core service offering centres on full HMO management under a guaranteed rent model, under which the firm takes on tenant placement, maintenance coordination through a network of cleaners and contractors, and day-to-day operations in exchange for a management fee or margin on rent paid to property owners. Tenant acquisition relies on listings across 22 major UK property portals, with 96.8% of viewings accompanied by in-house staff. Customer-facing channels are predominantly direct — phone (0744 060 4932), email, and in-person — with no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or third-party integrations disclosed.

The business model is managed services revenue derived from HMO and serviced accommodation contracts. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with free initial valuations offered to prospective landlord clients and contracts structured as multi-year agreements. Ownership and operation remain with the founding partners, with no external investors, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or public funding rounds disclosed. The firm does not publish revenue, headcount, or managed-unit figures, and operates with no stated AI, automation, or data capabilities.
