Our story
Independent. Specialist. Built for UK social housing, since 2002
Asprey’s business was founded by Building Performance Group, a spinout business of the BRE that partnered with and then sold to Asprey in 2002. Our primary aim was to build a comprehensive suite of asset management products and services; we have and continue to invest heavily in its continuous improvement.

Our origin
Fiercely independent since 2002
Asprey acquired a BRE spinout business in 2002. Everything since has been reinvestment in one suite for one sector. Our 25th anniversary arrives in 2027.
Unchanged since 2002
The sector: UK social housing, exclusively.
The ownership: independent, with product direction set in-house.
The habit: continuous reinvestment in the suite, year after year.
