Slackbuie Site H Development

Highland Housing Alliance is continuing to support the delivery of high-quality homes across the Highlands with its upcoming development at Slackbuie Site H.

Located to the south of Inverness, the development will provide 32 homes, including a mix of two- and three-bedroom villas and two-bedroom flats. All properties will be offered at mid-market rent (MMR), providing an option positioned below private rental levels and above social housing.

The villas will include private gardens, giving residents their own outdoor space to enjoy, while the two-bedroom flats will feature en-suites and balconies. These balconies will offer views across Inverness, helping residents make the most of the development’s setting.

Slackbuie has seen significant growth in recent years, with new development helping to create a thriving community that continues to expand. Its location offers a balance between neighbourhood living and convenient access to the wider city, with Inverness city centre less than ten miles away.

The area is also well placed for travel. Its proximity to the A9 makes journeys beyond Inverness straightforward, while Inverness Airport is around a 30-minute drive away, supporting both work and leisure connections.

With completion expected in 2027, Slackbuie Site H will provide a further boost to housing options in the area, supporting individuals and families looking for high-quality homes at mid-market rent.

The development reflects HHA’s ongoing commitment to increasing access to well-designed homes in places where people want to live. By offering the properties at MMR tenure, Slackbuie Site H will help support those who may not be eligible for social housing but still find private rental costs challenging.

Making things easier: Introducing HHA’s new Tenant Portal

At HHA, we’re always looking for ways to make managing your tenancy simpler and more convenient. That’s why we’re introducing our new Tenant Portal: a secure online service designed to give tenants quick access to important information and services, all in one place.

The Tenant Portal offers a straightforward way to manage key aspects of your tenancy online, at a time that suits you. We’re encouraging tenants to take advantage of the portal and its benefits, starting today.

The Tenant Portal is accessible via a secure link sent to you by email from [email protected], and can be saved on a phone, tablet, or computer for easy access. Once you sign in using the details provided in the email you receive from HHA, your account will link directly to our main system, giving you access to information specific to your tenancy.

Through the Tenant Portal, you can:

  • View contact details quickly and easily, including updating your mobile number and email address.
  • Check who is listed as living in the property and view documents, including your tenancy agreement.
  • Report repairs and maintenance issues online, including uploading photographs to help explain issues clearly.

This online process makes reporting repairs more convenient as you can do this at any time, and helps HHA respond efficiently by keeping a clear record of requests and updates.  Any emergency should be reported to HHA by calling the office.

The portal also brings important documents and dates together in one place. Compliance inspection certificates, alarm check records and other key paperwork will now be uploaded directly to your account. If an inspection is due, you’ll see it clearly in the portal, along with upcoming dates. Rent statements can also be viewed and saved whenever you need them.

A number of tenants have already been using the Tenant Portal as part of an initial rollout, and it will be available to all tenants in February.

If you have any questions on the new Tenant Portal, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email at [email protected].

HHA and Tulloch partnership delivers more MMR homes to Inverness

Leading developer of mid-market rent (MMR) homes across the Highlands, HHA, has strengthened its partnership with Tulloch Homes, part of the Springfield Group, in a deal that will create 10 new rental opportunities in Inverness. 

A collection of two- and three-bedroom homes at Tulloch Homes’ vibrant new Parks View development will be handed over to HHA on completion in 2026 and will be available at MMR. These homes offer tenants access to high-quality, affordably priced rental accommodation that is typically below private market rent levels.

Ideally located between the sought-after communities of Inshes and Milton of Leys, the wider Parks View development features 155 sustainable homes set within landscaped green spaces. 

The strategic partnership between HHA and Tulloch Homes is delivering a mix of housing tenures at flagship developments across the Highlands. Established in 2024, the partnership has resulted in more than 100 MMR homes either completed or agreed at locations in Inverness, Conon Bridge, Aviemore and Kirkhill. 

The latest deal has been supported with funding from the Scottish Government, The Highland Council and The Inverness and Highland City Region Deal.   

Gail Matheson, CEO, HHA, said: “Access to affordable, high-quality housing remains a challenge in the Highlands, and partnerships like this are essential in helping to meet demand. By working with Tulloch, we can provide homes that offer long-term stability for individuals and families who may otherwise struggle to find suitable accommodation.

“This new collection of MMR homes provides local people, including essential key workers, with greater choice to live and work in the area. By helping retain vital skills in the region, we’re supporting both economic growth and the long-term wellbeing of our communities.”

Kieran Graham, managing director of Tulloch Homes, said: “With the Highlands set for significant economic growth driven by the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport and ambitious infrastructure projects, the demand for quality housing will only but continue to grow. 

“Tulloch has been part of Highland communities for over 100 years, and while the landscape has evolved, our commitment to deliver high-quality homes that meet the real needs of local people has remained steady. However, it is not just about building more homes, it’s about delivering a mix of tenures that are accessible to everyone. Our partnership with HHA is a great example of how collaboration can realise this.”
