What Source Partnership Consulting does

Source Partnership Consulting Limited is a UK-based social-housing consultancy founded in 1993 and headquartered at 80 Silvester Road, East Dulwich, London. The firm provides six core services — Independent Advice, Tenant Empowerment, Community Consultation, Performance Review, Training and Coaching, and Service Development — delivered to local authorities, housing associations, registered providers, tenant management organisations, and resident groups undertaking housing regeneration programmes. Its work spans estate redevelopment, options appraisals, ballots and tests of opinion, TMO development, and capacity-building training for residents and housing officers.

The firm's value proposition rests on practitioner expertise accumulated over 30 years, including individuals with 30+ years in social housing, and on an established referral network across London and the UK social-housing sector. The business operates on project-based, quote-based professional services fees with no disclosed pricing, no recurring retainer structure, and no technology platform underpinning the offering. It maintains long-running client relationships such as the Hackney Council Kings Crescent Estate regeneration engagement (ongoing since 2013) and partnerships with Manor House Development Trust, Styles House TMO, Sheffield Hallam University, and Poplar Harca.

The company is privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no acquisitions, no patents, and no technology assets. Distribution is direct consultancy engagement with enterprise and public-sector buyers; marketing is driven through content (blog), organic social (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), and industry reputation. There is no evidence of geographic expansion beyond the UK or of product diversification into technology-enabled offerings.

Broad incumbent providing overlapping advisory services to local authorities and housing providers, but as part of a much wider real estate services platform.
