emh development update August 2019

Key schemes

Here are just three schemes supported by Homes England which capture our development strategy in action. We are creating thriving communities, building high quality homes in the right places, thanks to strong partnerships. We selected these three as they show the flexibility and status of being an Investment Partner.

Ashby ExtraCare Scheme

The East Midlands has an ageing population and a significant need for more homes for later life. Emh group has a proud track record of responding to this need, including our multi award-winning Oak Court and Waterside Court schemes.

Work will start this October on our latest ExtraCare scheme, delivering some 65 new one and two bedroom apartments and associated communal facilities including restaurant/ café, residents lounge, hairdressers and therapy room. This scheme is unique in its build as it mixed onsite traditional building techniques, with bathroom pods which

are constructed offsite. This helps reduce build time and offers greater value for money. The £14m scheme, which is supported by £2.6 million Homes England SP grant funding, will complete in January 2021. It will bring cutting edge design together with assistive technology to provide quality homes for older people.

Forest Road, Huncote

We are building some 54 homes (a mix of rent and shared ownership) with Countryside. The scheme was made possible thanks to our Homes England partnership status.

The properties range from 1-bed apartments to 4 bed homes. Showing the high level of demand in the East Midlands, of the 29 shared ownership houses, we have already completed on 12, reserved four and exchanged one.
