Our story: empowering tenants in Torbay
Discover the journey of Midvale Housing Advocacy Service. Born from a vital community need, we're dedicated to upholding tenant rights, ensuring fair treatment, and empowering individuals throughout Torbay. Join us in building a community where every tenant feels safe, respected, and heard.

Why Midvale Housing Advocacy Service?
Midvale Housing Advocacy Service emerged from a clear and urgent need: independent, community led support for tenants facing overwhelming housing challenges. Too many residents in Torbay are enduring unsafe conditions, ignored repairs, unfair treatment, and even unlawful eviction attempts, often feeling isolated in their struggles. The success of the Midvale Tenants Association showed that dedicated advocacy truly transforms outcomes. As the association evolved, it became crucial to establish a sustainable, non profit service.
This service exists because every tenant deserves safety, dignity, and a fair chance to resolve issues. Advocacy levels the playing field and Torbay needs a dedicated organisation to provide it.
Midvale Housing Advocacy Service was founded to protect and strengthen this vital work, creating a volunteer-led organisation committed to empowering tenants, upholding their rights, and ensuring no one faces housing problems alone. Every tenant deserves safety, dignity, and a fair chance to resolve issues. We are here to level the playing field.

Our approach: fairness, understanding & respect
When assisting a tenant, our approach is built on three foundational pillars: fairness, understanding, and above all, respect. We believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, have their concerns heard, and their situation fully understood. We listen actively, empathise with your challenges, and act with integrity to ensure fair processes and outcomes.
Our goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel confident and empowered as we navigate complex housing issues together. This commitment to a respectful and understanding interaction underpins every action we take, helping tenants in Coulsdon and across Torbay.
"I can't say enough about the outstanding service I received from your company. Their team went above and beyond to meet our needs and exceeded our expectations."
