whg has been named one of the country’s biggest developers of social housing in a new survey released this week.
The leading Midlands landlord has been ranked at number 50 by trade publication Inside Housing in its top 50 biggest builders after completing 304 homes in 2022/2023. Of these 86 were affordable rent homes, 98 were social rent homes, 71 were shared ownership and 49 were for market sale.
whg came 29th when looking at the number of homes expected to be completed in 2023/24, with 686 homes in the pipeline.
Corporate Director of Development, Rebecca Bennett Casserly, said: “With many housing associations looking to scale back their development commitments over the next few years due to rising prices and competing pressures, we are proud to be continuing our house building programme at pace.
“We have had a fantastic start to 2023. Our strong financial position, coupled with the excellent relationships we have with partners sets us in a good position to more than double our housing completions this year as we work towards our aim of building 2000 affordable homes by 2024.”
