Working closely with Barnet Council and the Metropolitan Police we acquired this site for George Wimpey with the Affordable delivered by Family Mosaic.

We acquired this former bakery for Islington & Shoreditch Housing Association on a subject to planning basis for 34 apartments.

We acquired two TA sites for Bellway Homes, one in EastHam for 70 units and the other in Hounslow for 85 units.
