Homes England, alongside HSBC and NatWest, will provide Allison
Homes, a fast-growing regional homebuilder, with a £165 million
finance facility to support its continued expansion across the
East of England, the Midlands and Southwest.
The refinancing package marks a significant milestone in the
company's growth strategy, enabling it to accelerate land
acquisition and development and increase the supply of
affordable, high-quality homes across its regions.
Simon Century, Chief Investment Officer at Homes England,
said:
Small and medium housebuilders play a vital role in building a
diverse and resilient housing sector. Funding from Homes England
will enable Allison Homes to expand its regional delivery,
supporting the construction of more high quality, affordable
homes.
This financing deal is a prime example of how the Agency works
collaboratively with both public and private partners to achieve
our mission of building thriving communities that people can be
proud to call home.
Ian Trinder, Chief Financial Officer of Allison Homes,
said:
This is a very exciting moment for our business as it
shows real confidence from strong funding partners in our
long-term growth plans. Regional homebuilders, like Allison
Homes, play a crucial role in delivering the housing needed to
meet local and national demand, while also investing in
infrastructure, creating jobs and supporting the local
economy.
Importantly, this financial package means we can continue our
ambitious growth trajectory, whilst focusing on what matters most
- building high-quality homes, creating places people are proud
to live in, and being the homebuilder that people can
trust.
Over the past year, we've taken decisive steps to
strengthen the business for the long term - investing heavily in
land, regional growth, operational
infrastructure, systems and our
people. We've also grown unit sales from 626 to 808 and
revenue from £154 million to £202 million, with a significant
focus on recurring partnership revenue alongside open market
sales.
Delivering this during a challenging economic period has been no
small task, and we're incredibly proud of
what we've achieved to date. The country continues to
face a significant housing shortfall, and our sector has an
important responsibility to help address it.”
HSBC and NatWest have worked with Allison Homes for a number
of years, and Homes England is joining alongside the
existing lenders to provide further growth capital for the
business as it enters a new period of growth, supported by a
strong pipeline of consented sites.
Financing will be provided by the Home Building Fund, which is
designed to support SME housebuilders to overcome funding
barriers in order to build homes more
quickly.
The loan will be utilised to bring forward a strong land pipeline
and support the growth of two newer regions in the South
West and East Midlands. The objective of this is
to take delivery from around 700 homes a year, predominantly
from the East Division, to around 2000 homes over the term
of the loan.
Allison Homes has an extensive development pipeline, underpinned
by a land acquisition strategy balanced between partnerships and
open market homes, following the expansion of its partnerships
division. The homebuilder has also recently opened offices in
Bristol and the East Midlands and acquired its largest
site yet – a 510 home development in a prime Bristol
location.
Mark Pope, Director at NatWest Real Estate Finance,
said:
We are delighted to continue to be able to support Allison Homes
with this facility to help them achieve their future growth
plans, delivering much needed additional housing.
NatWest has a long history of supporting the residential market
across all tenures, and this transaction is another example of
how we provide execution excellence,
delivering optimal funding solutions alongside our
lending partners.
Joe Bailey, Relationship Director, HSBC Real Estate Finance,
said:
HSBC UK is pleased to continue supporting Allison Homes at a
pivotal stage in its growth journey. This new financing package
reflects our confidence in the strength of the business, its
management team and its commitment to delivering
high-quality homes across the regions it serves.
Completion of the facility took place on 18 December
2025.
