About Us

Broadleaf was formed in 1990 as a specialist sheltered and retirement housing management company with the express objective of offering a flexible, commercial approach to management issues tailored to each individual development's needs.

All of our policies and procedures comply with the requirements of the Code of Practice for Private Sheltered Housing issued by our industry body, The Association of Retirement Housing Managers, an organisation of which Broadleaf is a full member.

Based in the beautiful New Forest in Burley, Hampshire, Broadleaf currently manages just under 1,000 individual properties in developments throughout Southern, Eastern and South West England. Our experience spans the retirement housing spectrum and includes two developments in the grounds of residential care homes, as well as mixed developments of bungalows, cottages and apartments. The size of our developments range from as few as 18 properties with the largest being just under 60 properties.

Almost all of our developments include a wide range of services and facilities such as resident Community Managers, Visiting Secretaries or Concierges, Lounges for the use of residents, friends and family, a guest suite for overnight visits, laundry rooms and even a hairdressing salon.

There is widespread recognition that retirement housing provides its purchasers with not just a new home but a new way of life, foremost amongst the many lifestyle benefits being:-

	Increased security and the peace of mind of knowing that help is always on hand in the event of an emergency
	Companionship and the opportunity to make new friends
	Freedom from many of the more tiresome chores associated with home ownership such as gardening, window cleaning, external maintenance and repairs, etc
	More predictable financial budgeting and smaller financial outgoings each of which is provided by the management company through its services to the residents and the development.

Accordingly, the performance and professionalism of the management company is fundamental to the success of a retirement housing development. Broadleaf fully recognise this, and that we have a vital role to play in ensuring customer satisfaction. Our current size enables us to offer a "hands on" management approach, with one of the Company Directors, and hence decision makers, taking direct responsibility for each development.
