WINNER: Mulbury Homes

LYMM-BASED Mulbury Homes is a specialist affordable housing developer, which started trading in 2011.

Since then, Mulbury Homes has completed and pending projects worth more than £50m and has created hundreds of jobs.

It is an innovative, end-to-end specialist in the procurement and delivery of inspiring affordable housing for social landlords across the North.

At the root of all its activity is a commitment to make a difference where it matters most by building great homes in thriving neighbourhoods, based on solid relationships and trust.

The total-solution approach means it manages each project, from identifying the initial land opportunity through to producing a specification design and developing the site, using its own resources, grant allocation or the housing association’s own funds.

Integral to its activities is a full range of dedicated support services and professional consultants, from land sourcing to cost control.

Its relationships with the region’s housing associations enables it to recognise development opportunities where there is demand.

This insight into its partners’ exact requirements means it can recognise opportunities that fit a particular RSL’s development profile and requirement.

It works in collaboration with partners to determine the tenure and specification, then to design vibrant and imaginative schemes that they take through the planning process to on-site development.

Throughout the whole process, it is in constant dialogue with all stakeholders to ensure it delivers the complete package – on time and on budget.
