New Lanark Homes

New Lanark is a World Heritage Site, and it has been restored as a living, working community. New Lanark Homes is a subsidiary company of New Lanark Trust. It is the operating company, a private landlord, which rents the 45 domestic residential tenancies that the Trust owns in the historic village of New Lanark. These are mostly tenemental, upper level flats, which were the original mill workers' housing. While the external building is historic the interiors are fully modernised, with either 2 or 3 bedrooms, plus a kitchen, bathroom, and sitting room. Most of the flats share a communal central heating system and an additional charge is paid as part of the rent.

The resident population is around 185. In addition to the 45 rented properties, there are 20 houses which are privately owned, and which come on the open market from time to time.

New Lanark Homes has an 'open' tenancy application system, and applications will be accepted from anyone. A copy of the Allocations Policy is available on request. The village of New Lanark is unique. It is a busy tourist site. You are recommended to visit the village prior to making an application for housing.
