Knox and Porter Houses, Mullen Doway, Union Mills

The Commissioners have 181 properties, which range in size from 1 to 4 bedrooms.

Our properties are situated at:-
Snugborough Estate, Union Mills
Jubilee Terrace, Coronation Terrace & Cronk Grianagh at The Strang

The Commissioners are pleased to announce that their new social housing at Mullen Doway in Union Mills consisting of 30 flats designed by architects, Ellis Brown was handed over to the Authority in January 2022 by the contractors Cedar. All of the properties are now occupied by our tenants.

The eventual completion date, was over 12 months later than originally planned, partly thanks to Covid, and due to delays in sourcing materials and specialist contractors from off island.

 Feedback from tenants has been very positive about their new accommodation and it is great to see the homes finally occupied. The apartments feature all electric heating (storage heaters, panel heaters and a heat recovery system that takes heat from cooking and showering and recirculates it around the home). Every apartment has a wet room with level access shower, making them more suitable for elderly or less able tenants.

The Commissioners are particularly pleased to be able to replace the homes in Cronkborne Village which dated from the 1860s, with buildings that are significantly warmer, more energy efficient and lower maintenance.

Cronk Grianagh

In 2018 the Commissioners took on responsibility for the maintenance of 37 properties owned by the Department of Infrastructure at Cronk Grianagh. This began as a trial, but is now permanent.

Eastern Region Housing Waiting List

We are working with the Department of Infrastructure and Garff Commissioners to provide the Eastern Region Housing Waiting List. You can now be considered for properties owned by all three authorities, in other areas, or just Braddan Commissioners.

Full details of the changes are contained within the Eastern Combined Housing Waiting List 2023.
