The work, carried out in two phases over the last year, saw an investment of over £1 million in the properties.

Aengus Hannaway, NIHE Manager for Lisburn and Castlereagh, said: "On average we spent around £6,500 on each home included in the scheme which gives a stylish upgrade to each property.

"We want our tenants to have improvements in their day-to-day lives in their properties and the feedback on the ground has been universally positive."
