Derby-based housing provider, Derwent Living has started work on 22 new homes in Swadlincote, Derby.

Buying, staircasing shares and selling.

In 2017/18, Derwent Living completed work on more than 100 new properties, across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, with more in the pipeline for 2019.

Occasionally there are circumstances where a resident has to move out of their property, so Derwent Living can do emergency repairs.

The Mills family are taking their first steps on the housing ladder at a new Derwent Living shared ownership scheme in Farnsfield, Southwell.

There’s lots of jargon to dig through when it comes to buying a home, which can be a little confusing at times.

Derwent Living is nearing completion of more than 60 new affordable homes in Littleover, Derby.

Following an election where housing finally became a campaign issue, housing associations have found themselves on the back foot facing four years of rent reductions and potential stock depletion through right to buy.

I welcome the fact that Sir Michael Lyons has been asked by the Labour Party to look at how we achieve 200,000 new homes a year by 2020. Recently private house-builders have cast doubt on the nation’s ability to hit this target. It has been done before in the 1940s, 1950s and 1970s, but it needs both public and private sectors working together to do it.
