HomeOwners Alliance announces partnership with Property Care Association to help homeowners find trusted specialists

Launched in 2012, the HomeOwners Alliance is one of the UK’s leading property advice websites providing money saving tips and helpful services for all the key moments of buying, selling or owning a home. 

Established in 1930 as the British Wood Preserving Association, the PCA has gone from strength to strength and continues to be the leading membership body helping homeowners access quality contractors, raise standards within the industry and working with government and others to ensure the right regulatory conditions exist to provide safe and healthy homes.

HOA and PCA have a track record of working together on key campaigns and consumer guidance, such as How to spot damp and how to fix it and Buying a home with Japanese Knotweed. In 2025 they wrote to government twice to demand action on spray foam, specifically to help homeowners who find themselves in a position where they are stuck and unable to sell, or are being targeted by unscrupulous spray foam removal firms.
Commenting on the new partnership, Paula Higgins, Chief Executive of HomeOwners Alliance said, “Homeowners are often left exposed when building issues emerge, with poor advice, inconsistent standards and, in some cases, unscrupulous operators. 

“By partnering with the Property Care Association, we are helping homeowners access trusted, highly qualified specialists while reinforcing the importance of high standards across the building protection industry. 

“This collaboration builds on our shared commitment to safer, healthier homes and giving homeowners the confidence to improve their properties by engaging the right professionals, supported by clear, independent and unbiased advice available on the HomeOwners Alliance website.” 

Sarah Garry, Chief Executive of the Property Care Association, added: “Our partnership with the HomeOwners Alliance will support consumers in accessing the specialist professionals they need to diagnose, prevent and manage building issues. 

“Our members demonstrate the highest standards and are subject to regular in person auditing, ensuring consumers are confident in the company they choose to do business with.

“This is supported by our library of information, which provide homeowners with further information on the common problems which can affect their properties.

“We believe that everyone should have access to a healthy home and by partnering with the HomeOwners Alliance, we can improve the quality of the built and natural environment for the benefit of all.”
