Weybank Housing Co-operative is situated in central Farnham and has 48 units comprising 22 one bed two person flats, 18 two bed three person flats, 7 three bed four person houses and 1 three bed five person house. Single bedroom flats on the ground floor have been designed and equipped for use by active elderly people and all houses have individual gardens.

The estate was developed in the mid 1980’s by CDS Co-operatives. Residents took control of the estate in 1993 when the co-operative began to function as an independent fully mutual co-operative.

CDS Co-operatives has provided management services since 1993 when the management agreement was formally agreed and signed.

Properties benefit from fully fitted kitchens and bathrooms and have gas fired central heating. The co-operative has replaced the windows in recent years with double glazed UPVC windows. Each block of flats has an entry phone system to prevent unauthorised entry. There are pleasant communal gardens surrounding the blocks which are maintained to a high standard by the co-operative. There are three main parking areas and some additional spaces located off Weybank Close.

The properties have easy access to all local amenities and the local railway station at Farnham has frequent trains to Central London.

Weybank Housing Co-operative has contractual tenancies and a 50% nominations agreement with Waverley Borough Council. The co-operative maintains its own waiting list in order to allocate the remaining 50%.
