Wyatt Homes set to expand across southern England with £45m backing 

Homes England and banking giant HSBC have announced a £45m joint funding package to build 1,000 homes with a small housebuilder over the next five years.

Under the deal, Homes England will contribute £15m in a five-year junior loan ‘mezzanine’ facility, which will sit behind a longer-term £30m facility from HSBC. 

The funding will help Wyatt Homes, a £22m-turnover housebuilder, to ‘accelerate delivery’ of 1,000 homes across Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset.

Around three in 10 of the homes built will be for affordable tenures.
