We understand that the death of a family member or friend is a very difficult time. However, it’s important that you let us know as soon as possible if a tenant dies.
Certain members of the tenant’s family may have a legal right to succession (taking over a tenancy when a tenant dies is known as ‘succession’). If there is no right of succession then we will advise on the process for returning the property to us.
On 27 March SBHA became part of Guinness. SBHA is no longer a landlord or employer. All SBHA’s responsibilities have passed to Guinness. Guinness has become the landlord to our residents.

Starting from 27 March 2025, if you are a tenant and need a gas or heating repair, please contact our new gas service provider, Sureserve Compliance South on 0208 269 4502 instead of calling us.
If you are a homeowner, you will continue to be responsible for servicing and repairs to your boiler and gas appliances. The Gas Safe Register recommends servicing gas boilers and appliances once a year.
For the time being, you will continue to pay your rent and service charges the same way you have been. You should also continue to raise repairs and contact us in the usual way.
Formerly SBHA, but now The Guinness Partnership, we were founded in 1890 to improve people’s lives and create possibilities for them.
