About this company

Gentoo Homes Limited is a registered entity within Gentoo Group, a Sunderland-based housing association that provides homes to more than 60,000 people. Its registered business activity is the development of building projects. Group materials reference 'Gentoo Homes' as part of its home ownership offer, alongside shared ownership and rent-to-buy schemes, indicating the company's role is building new homes for sale or part-ownership rather than managing the group's rented housing stock. The wider Gentoo Group manages tenancies, repairs, community support and neighbourhood services across Sunderland, but these group-level activities are carried out by the housing association rather than by this development company itself.
