Long Harbour has secured a £100m equity commitment from the National Housing Bank for its Long Harbour Single Family Housing Fund (LHSFF).
The investment brings the total amount committed to the strategy to £400m after Long Harbour secured a £300m seed equity commitment from South Korea’s National Pension Fund (NPS) in December 2024.
LHSFF provides new build family homes to rent across the UK with a focus on the South and South East of England. To date, it has committed circa £200m, working with developers to deliver almost 500 homes, with a further £500m of identified opportunities.
Jack Spearman, managing director for single-family housing at Long Harbour, said: “We are proud to have secured investment from the National Housing Bank into our latest single-family fund. As one of the National Housing Bank’s first equity investment partners, we are working together to accelerate the delivery of much-needed new homes across the country.
“We have made strong progress deploying capital across a growing portfolio, and with a robust pipeline of further acquisitions, we are well positioned to scale at pace. Our tailored operational platform for single-family homes, combined with the customer experience delivered by Way of Life, ensures we can meet the needs of modern renters while driving long-term value.”
Simon Century, chief executive officer of the National Housing Bank, added: “Our £100m investment demonstrates how the National Housing Bank is using its long‑term, flexible capital to unlock high quality private sector investment and accelerate the delivery of new homes. As another early equity investment for the bank, this investment reflects our focus, supporting professionally managed rental housing and increasing housing supply in areas that need it most. By investing on a matched funding basis, we are helping to crowd in international capital while ensuring more families can access well‑designed, well‑connected homes.”
