Description

Howard House is a Welwyn Garden City Town Centre block built in 1937. It has 52 purpose-built flats across 4 blocks. There are commercial units on the ground floor. Of the 52 homes 35 are tenants and 17 are leaseholders. The Council does not own the freehold to the building but has four headleases (one for each of the four blocks) which require the council to undertake maintenance on the blocks. There is a complex ownership of the freehold with parts of the building (including the commercial units) being owned by several different landlords.

Major refurbishment works are required to bring the property up to current standards.
