This is the Web Site of the residents of the historic Octavia Hill Estate parts of which were established as affordable working class  accommodation  over 100 years ago. The Estate was sold by the Church Commissioners in 2005 & 2006 to the highest bidder despite opposition by Tenants, Politicians, Councillors ,members of the Clergy, and the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The tenants had insisted that if the sale was to proceed that it must be to a Registered Social Landlord and presented to the Church Commissioners Petitions signed by 97% Tenants who were opposed to the sale. The Church Commissioners decided to ignore this petition as irrelevant and proceeded to sell to a Partnership of Social /Private Landlords.

In February 2011 Geninvest, the social side of partnership sold out to Grainger PLC a 100% private Landlord
