AVANT Homes is delivering 52 new homes for East Lothian Housing Association (ELHA) at Blindwells, near Tranent, after agreeing a £10.6 million deal with the affordable housing provider.
The social rented homes will form part of the housebuilder’s £48 million, 174-home Althamer View development, which features a range of three, four, and five-bedroom properties.
The housebuilder revealed the partnerships deal is the first between the two organisations and a further example of the multi-tenure strategy which seeks to maximise housing supply.
This has seen Avant Homes deliver new homes for a range of affordable housing and private rented sector providers. The homes typically have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B or above.
Avant Homes partnerships director, Colin Connell, said, This is an excellent first deal for us to secure with ELHA. It will increase the supply of energy efficient, socially rented housing within Blindwells and help further establish the new residential community being delivered there as part of the masterplan for the area.
“We have established a strong working relationship with ELHA and have every intention of partnering with them again in the future. Doing so will allow the further successful delivery of our multi-tenure strategy in Scotland and give more people access to our quality, energy efficient new homes.”
