Our approach to new build
Partnering with housing associations and local authorities, we bring forward new mixed-tenure homes that meet local housing needs and support community growth. Through trusted framework relationships, direct appointments, land-led opportunities and joint venture partnerships, we deliver high-quality developments that provide social, affordable and market homes, helping to create better homes, better lives and stronger communities for generations to come.
Land Led
Our land team are place-makers. They not only and source land using their trusted network of contacts, they use their imagination, local understanding and connection to a place to help transform existing spaces into integrated communities that people are proud to call home.
Our teams come with development and project management experience and an understanding of the Capital Funding Guide, Regulatory and Funding expectations, current legislation, housing need and Local Planning requirements. They also understand housing association requirements including repairs and maintenance, sales and lettings and asset management, ensuring they prioritise value for money and return on investment.
JVs
Our joint venture approach is to establish long term partnerships with housing associations and local authorities that are built on foundations of trust and transparency. Seddon bring development expertise to the table as well as equity investment and a willingness to do what’s right for the community, our partners and the public purse. This includes forward funding sites, identifying other financing mechanisms and funding levers, establishing SPVs or LLPs and bringing together the right partners to create lasting value across all our communities.
Estate Regeneration
The UK has some of the oldest housing stock in Europe, with around 80% of homes built before 1980. In many of our UK towns and cities, social homes are approaching the end of their natural life with more than 125,000 social homes expected to fall into an end-of-life by the next decade. The challenge is not only to build more homes, but to replace and upgrade those that no longer meet modern standards.
Because Seddon are a regional, family-owned contractor, we are able to bring something different to our public sector customers. We are embedded in the areas where we work. We employ local people, use local supply chains and invest in apprenticeships.
We are experienced developing the difficult sites that others struggle to make viable. Complex brownfield and estate-based schemes are where we thrive. Regeneration, Devolution and council house building is fast entering Government rhetoric and we’re already supporting local authorities and housing associations in their existing estate renewal projects across the North and Midlands regions.
