Capsticks has been proudly supporting our Social Housing clients for over a decade, and with the sector focusing on new growth and facing significant investment targets, we are really pleased to announce Susie Rogers as our new Head of Housing, to help support our clients with the continuous changes in their markets.  

Susie has been at the heart of the housing sector for many years, working closely with Registered Providers and industry consultants, sharing her insights around key government announcements and changes, always with an eye on what’s on the horizon for the sector and how best to support our clients.  

Susie’s own practice specialises in all types of portfolio transactions, including security charging, stock rationalisation and void disposal programs. As Head of Housing, she will lead our contribution to the sector, bringing together our development, housing management, governance, litigation, corporate and employment teams to help our clients work to make a difference. 

Susie will work in partnership with Capsticks' Head of Housing & Regeneration, James Howard and our Head of Housing Management, Michael Owen, who together have over three decades of experience in the sector. 

James will continue to lead the Housing & Regeneration team of over 60, advising a vast portfolio of registered providers and development clients on all aspects of regeneration projects, including land acquisitions, site assembly, overage and option agreements, as well as mergers & acquisitions, governance/regulatory, stock transfers and treasury requirements.  

Michael will continue to lead one of the largest Housing Management teams in the country, advising social landlords on all aspects of Housing Management and representing clients across disrepair, leasehold, tenancy management, and ASB.   

Together, our teams represent and advise over 200 registered providers and Real Estate Investment Trusts across the country on all aspects of housing.  

Partner and Head of Housing, Susie Rogers, said:  

I am excited to step up as the newly appointed Head of Housing. Alongside Mike, James, and our dedicated teams, I look forward to working with our clients and industry partners to help the sector recover and thrive, supporting local communities across the UK. 

Partner and Head of Housing & Regeneration, James Howard, said:  

It is great to see Susie take on our head of housing role. Susie’s experience and the new ideas she will bring will help continue to build our service offering for the sector and ensure we are the team that clients want by their side.   

Partner and Head of Housing Management, Michael Owen, said:  

I’m really pleased that Susie has taken on the role of Head of Housing. She has vast experience and a deep knowledge of the housing sector, and will further enhance our work in the social housing market.  

Senior Partner, Rachael Heenan, commented:

At Capsticks, we’re committed to providing our clients with the highest quality service and proactive solutions, so they can focus their efforts on the communities they support.
