Affordable housing

Grounded expertise with real impact.

We believe affordable housing should be accessible, practical, and built on solid foundations - just like our approach.

With deep-rooted expertise in residential land sales, planning, and development, we work closely with Housing Associations, For Profit Registered Providers, Developers, and Investors to bring affordable homes to life. Whether it's navigating S106 obligations, unlocking additionality sales, or supporting stock rationalisation and fund valuations, our team is here to make the complex simple.

We’re not just consultants, we’re partners in building communities that work for everyone.
