Larkfleet Achieves Investment Partner Status

Bourne (near Peterborough) based house builder Larkfleet Homes (www.larkfleethomes.co.uk) has been awarded Investment Partner status by the Housing Corporation the government body responsible for regulating and supporting housing associations.

This enables Larkfleet to support its existing housing association partners and provide a better overall service to the local authorities where they operate.

The Investment Partner status will also give the company necessary credentials when submitting planning applications to local councils for sites requiring only affordable housing.

Karl Hick, managing director of Larkfleet Homes, said: We believe that this status further demonstrates our commitment to the affordable housing sector and enhances our company profile with the Housing Corporation.

We are dedicated to working with local housing associations and we wish to continue and strengthen these successful relationships.

Companies in the Larkfleet group are currently working on affordable housing in Oakham, Bourne, Peterborough, and a number of villages in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire.

Housing associations are independent organisations regulated by the Housing Corporation which provide low cost homes for rent or shared purchase by individuals and families who would otherwise not be able to afford decent housing. The Larkfleet Group works with housing associations to provide affordable housing throughout the East Midlands and East of England.
