Legal & General Affordable Homes (LGAH) is partnering with Rose Builders to deliver 44 new affordable homes in Thundersley, Essex.
The 100% affordable scheme, which is located on Hart Road, will see LGAH deliver its first net zero (regulated) carbon homes.
The new homes comprise 19 two-bedroom and 25 three-bedroom houses with private gardens – 35 homes will be shared ownership and nine will be affordable rent.
Ben Denton, chief executive at Legal & General Affordable Homes, said: “The gap between supply and demand of affordable housing has never been greater, and, as the cost of living is rising, it’s getting more and more difficult to save for a deposit and buy a property outright.
“Our new scheme at Hart Road is solely affordable housing with a mix of affordable rent and shared ownership properties built to high sustainability standards, to not only help locals get on the property ladder but also keep costs down in the future. We are passionate about building good quality homes in great locations to help people and communities thrive and our latest scheme at Hart Road will go some way in achieving that.”
Sam Brown, development director at Rose Builders, added: “Rose is delighted to partner with Legal & General Affordable Homes to address the critical need for affordable housing in Essex. This project aligns with our core values of community service and sustainable quality development. We are committed to delivering new homes that not only meet the housing needs of residents but also contribute positively to the environment. Rose Builders, a fifth generation family firm, is committed to continuing to deliver excellence in all aspects of building, constructing and delivering new quality homes in Essex.”
Construction work is due to commence shortly and the first homes should be completed by April 2025.
