Levelling Up Home Building Fund: V&A Homes

Watch our film to find out how our funding helped a regional housebuilder to deliver an outstanding waterfront scheme.

V&A Homes Yorkshire Ltd

V&A homes is a family-run SME developer based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Waterside, a stunning nine-home scheme overlooking the River Nidd, was their second Homes England-supported development. 

The brownfield site, a former abattoir, is located on a steep waterside location which required complex groundworks to complete the build. Homes England worked closely with the team at all stages to provide both financial and specialist support. 

Today all three townhouses and six semi-detached homes are occupied, with residents benefitting from spectacular views and outstanding design.    

Following the success of Waterside, V&A homes is now completing a scheme of homes opposite Thirsk Racecourse and are working on their next scheme which will deliver 60 new homes in Sharow near Ripon. 

Victoria Denman, Managing Director of V&A Homes said:

We first worked with Homes England after agreeing a land deal to bring our first development to market. From the outset I found the experience of working with the team extremely supportive. I was guided with care and consideration through the process and given reassurance at all stages. We are now working on a scheme which will deliver 60 homes - our biggest project to date. We wouldn’t have grown as we have without the great partnership we have developed with the agency.
