The award-winning single-family developer and operator, Placefirst, has accelerated the growth of its portfolio through a series of forward-funded deals.
As the UK’s new government looks to address the shortage of housing, greater amounts of high -quality housing to offer an alternative to the unpredictable buy-to-let market is key. As part of its commitment to bolster the country’s response to the housing crisis, Placefirst has continued to expand its presence across the North and taken its first steps into the East Midlands.
Securing deals with Jelson Homes in Corby to acquire 34 homes, Miller Hoes for 76 homes in Widnes, and 40 homes from New Tyne West and Keepmoat in Newcastle, Placefirst is well on track to meet this commitment.
Speaking on the recent deal, David Mawson, Chief Executive Officer at Placefirst, said: “To maintain momentum, we’ll continue to explore the best opportunities and partnerships to grow our portfolio further, so that we can keep delivering secure and quality homes in the right locations”.
