About the company

This ambitious, fresh, and inventive for-profit affordable housing provider has been created by a premium London property developer. It was borne out of a desire to provide top quality, high specification, yet affordable homes to people wanting to own or rent in Greater London. By breaking preconceptions of shared ownership and affordable rent, the organisation offers an alternative route to buying a home in a city where many people feel priced out of the market.

There is no other housing association like them, and they strive to stand apart. This is your opportunity to join an ambitious and growing company as it breaks the traditional mould of affordable housing delivery in order to give more Londoners their dream home.
