About Knowes

Knowes Housing Association was formed on 1st March 1998 following a large scale voluntary transfer of 1,115 properties in the Faifley and Duntocher area of Clydebank from the former Scottish Homes.

Knowes currently owns and manages 1019 properties and acts as factor to a further 200.

Knowes is a charitable registered social landlord managed by a Committee of local tenants and owner occupiers.

Our mission is to:- "provide good quality affordable housing and services which meets the needs and aspirations of the community we serve, ensure resident control of current and future housing and contribute to the continued improvement of the local community and environment”.

Since 1998 Knowes has demolished 148 unpopular tenement flats and replaced them with 119 modern cottage type properties. We are also involved in a number of wider role projects in the community including the provision of a healthy living café, Café Knowes, in Skypoint Centre in Faifley.
