Allison Homes has announced a deal with Legal & General Affordable Homes as the first of the strategic partnerships which will support the housebuilder’s growth plans.
Under the agreement, 176 of the 315 homes at Allison Homes’ new development, The Oaks in Postwick, Norwich, have been forward sold to Legal & General (L&G). Fifty-seven of the homes will be affordable rent and 119 shared ownership.
John Anderson, CEO Allison Group said: “We are delighted to have finalised this deal with Legal & General Affordable Homes and are looking forward to working with them to deliver much needed new homes for the area.”
Since Allison Homes was purchased by management and US investment firm PIMCO in November 2021, the company has announced plans to be building over 2,000 homes a year within the next five years.
John continued: “The agreement allows us to accelerate the pace of development at the site and marks the establishment of our partnership division which will play a key role in delivering on our ambitious growth plans.”
Ben Denton, CEO of L&G Affordable Homes said: “This is a great opportunity for L&G Affordable Homes to partner with Allison Homes on this significant site just west of Norwich. We are delighted to be working with Allison Homes to support their impressive growth trajectory. L&G Affordable Homes is growing at pace, injecting institutional capital to expand the affordable housing marketplace. This is also one of our first sites where we are investing Homes England Strategic Partnership Grant funding.”
