Build To Rent deal emphasises eco-efficiency and wellbeing

A new housing deal will provide another 92 Build To Rent units run by Legal & General.

The properties will be two, three and four bedroom units in the coastal community of St Leonards in Hastings. 

They will be a minimum of EPC B-rated and are including air-source heat pumps, solar panels, and electric vehicle charging points. 

A further 59 affordable homes are being delivered in partnership with the Hyde Group, bringing the total number of new homes on the site to 151.

David Reid, managing director of Legal & General Suburban Build To Rent: “We are a committed investor in homes that address the significant demand for rental housing across the UK and meet increasing demand for healthier, more sustainable ways of living. Providing reliable, long-term rental options will play an important part in meeting the UK’s housing needs, and we’re pleased to be doing so in partnership with Chartway. Together we will deliver much-needed family homes for the St Leonards community whilst also building out assets for our long-term partners.”

L&G SBTR says it is “working towards having all new homes delivered from 2030 operate at net zero carbon emissions, in line with Legal & General’s wider commitment to sustainability.” 

A statement from the firm continues: “LGSBTR have also set up a Healthy Communities Committee, which includes learnings from the NHS Healthy New Towns programme, to support health and wellbeing throughout the communities it creates. The committee will ensure that all homes and communities are designed specifically with health and wellbeing at their core.”
