We've been quiet for a while but we're delighted to announce our first scheme with @BarnetHomes which will deliver 47 affordable homes in Edgware. @housing_today has more about the proposals. https://t.co/pDGQZebARf

Interested to see how @_Commonhome deal with density across custom-build typologies in Ldn? Sounds like a great chance to diversify the UK housebuilder model #custombuild

@Padcollins92 Hi Pádraig, thanks for the reply. Can you DM us so that we can set something up?

And so off to Lambeth this morning to discuss with officers how Common Home can help bring home ownership and custom-build to ordinary Londoners.

[Common Home CIC @_Commonhome]

@AHookuk Thanks - long way to go yet. Please keep an eye on our account for updates.

With help of public landowners Common Home delivers affordable homes for outright sale (not shared ownership) to Londoners:

▫️1 bed flat: £215,000
▫️2 bed flat: £240,000
▫️4 bed flat: £360,000

All come fully finished and larger than London Plan space standards.

[Common Home CIC @_Commonhome]

@AHookuk Yes. All homes must be resold via us. This ensures that subsequent purchasers buy then on exactly the same discounted terms.

@boblsmith True, but we are close to securing a significant loan from the Mayor of London to assist in the delivery of our first homes. It's not as if the well-established companies have done enough so far to tackle the problem—maybe some fresh ideas are what's required?

[Common Home CIC @_Commonhome]

@TheMurkyDepths @Lucydevereux @ccakirby @DanLThorpe @Cllrjfahy It's not a silver bullet—it's not intended to be. But we recognise that there is a gap in the market. The homes we hope to provide are up to half the price (and significantly larger) than those provided by the local market.

[Common Home CIC @_Commonhome]

@TheMurkyDepths @Lucydevereux @ccakirby @DanLThorpe @Cllrjfahy We're currently looking at a version where we deliver 35% social rent with the rest discounted market sale.

Off to Bromley this morning to talk to officers about our ideas for delivering truly affordable housing for Londoners. 100% ownership, 2 bed (and large) apartments for sale for £240,000—and ready to move into. What's not to like?

When is the architectural debate going to wake up and include LAND COST in the affordable housing debate. Housebuilders already build this cheap. IT'S THE COST OF LAND THATS THE THE UNAFFORDABLE BIT: Kodasema launches tiny prefab home for £150k in UK https://t.co/qJgf9UaS9Z

[London CLT @LondonCLT]

*** ANNOUNCEMENT *** @LondonCLT chosen by @MayorofLondon to build 70-75 genuinely & permanently affordable homes on TfL sites in Cable St & Streatham Hill! Congrats to all those that campaigned for years, now let's get the homes built! @CitizensUK 💪���💪 https://t.co/2ymSPgOGlp
