Times are tough and we’re all affected by the current cost of living crisis in different ways, so we do our utmost to deliver homes that are not only attractive, but also sustainable and cost-efficient for residents.

The properties are stunning and being able to house 36 families in modern, energy efficient homes is amazing, especially during the current cost of living crisis. We have spoken to the new tenants at length, and they are all over the moon with their new homes.
