We have launched a Tenant Portal!
Circle VHA Engage Tenant Portal
In 2023, Circle VHA has developed an Engage Portal which is an Application/App you can access through your phone using the internet, allowing you to manage items in relation to your tenancy at the touch of your fingers.
Benefits of utilising the portal are listed below alongside a guide of usage.
