Lindum has handed over the first of 69 affordable homes to Yorkshire Housing at its Hull Road development in York.

The development will provide a mix of high-quality Rent to Buy, Shared Ownership and Affordable Rent homes.

The handover event was attended by Jonathan Sizer, Managing Director at Lindum York, Lindum Group Managing Director, Freddie Chambers, Keith Willert, Site Manager and Sian Webster, Director of Development at Yorkshire Housing.

Sian Webster, Director of Development at Yorkshire Housing said: “We’re delighted to have worked with Lindum and with the support of Homes England to create 69 quality affordable homes here in York.

“This development gives people the chance to have a place they’re proud to call home. There is a need for more homes across York, including homes that give people the chance to step on to the property ladder. We’re committed to building a total of 8,000 new mixed tenure homes by 2030 and this scheme has significantly contributed to this.”

Jonathan Sizer, Managing Director at Lindum York, said: “These new homes will go some way to satisfying the need for affordable housing in York.

“Hull Road provided the perfect location for this development as it’s by a main road with established public transport links and close to the university campus.

“We are really pleased with the final result and look forward to watching this new community blossom as residents continue to move in and make the houses their homes.”
