"The Affordable Housing Network is a game-changer for the sector. A must-use platform for anyone in the Affordable Housing industry." – Leo Stevens, Partner at Devonshires We’re honoured to receive such positive feedback from Leo, a very well respected voice in the Affordable Housing sector. At The Affordable Housing Network, our mission is to transform how Developers and Affordable Housing Providers connect, negotiate, and close deals. The challenges in the sector—whether it’s delayed Section 106 units or missed opportunities due to lack of visibility—require innovative solutions. That’s why we’ve created a platform that simplifies the process, ensuring every deal has the exposure and efficiency it deserves. This endorsement reinforces the importance of what we’re building and inspires us to continue driving change in the industry. Thank you Leo! #affordablehousing #kindwords #innovation

With the recent news that Homes England have launched their 's106 clearing service', which is a step forward in helping Developers offload their Affordable Housing obligations, let’s be honest — it’s still just a spreadsheet hosted on SharePoint. Developers are expected to exhaust their 'usual efforts' to identify a buyer before listing opportunities (on a spreadsheet), adding time, inefficiency, and complexity to an already challenging process. That’s where The Affordable Housing Network changes the game. Our platform offers so much more than a static list: One Platform, One Process. Why go through the hassle of 'concluding the usual efforts to identify a buyer' when you can do it once with us? Our platform connects Developers with vetted Affordable Housing Providers in real-time, giving you instant access to a wide pool of serious bidders as soon as your listing goes live. And if you still don’t secure a sale, you can download detailed reports showing how many Providers have engaged with your offer — giving you concrete evidence of your efforts before turning to the Homes England spreadsheet. Transparent, Competitive Bidding - No emailing back and forth or waiting for responses. Bids are managed directly on the platform, with tools for comparing offers, making counteroffers, and finalising deals — all in one place. Real-Time Updates - Forget static spreadsheets. Our platform lets you update listings dynamically, keeping information accurate and relevant to attract the best bids. It also lets RP's draw search areas on a map, with tailored alerts so you don't miss any opportunities - forget scouring through a spreadsheet. Efficiency at Its Core - We’re built for speed. From listing to deal completion, everything is designed to reduce delays and eliminate inefficiencies. Why stick to outdated (even though it's 'new'!) methods when innovation is right here? The Affordable Housing Network isn’t just about clearing s106 obligations — it’s about transforming how Developers and Affordable Housing Providers collaborate to create win-win deals, and we're not just about s106 deals. And here’s the best part: our fee is likely more cost-effective than you think. When you factor in the time, effort, and resources spent trying to find a buyer through traditional routes — only to then add it to a spreadsheet — our streamlined, all-in-one process saves you both time and money, while delivering real results. We'll be up and running January 2025, get in touch today to learn how we can simplify your s106 process and maximise your results.

The UK Government’s pledge of £500m for Affordable Housing and £5bn for Social Housing regeneration marks real progress. But without a centralised platform to streamline deals, opportunities will be missed, and we risk falling short of the Government’s targets. The Affordable Housing Network will address this challenge head-on - by bringing Developers and Affordable Housing Providers together in one place. Our platform will create direct connections that enable the delivery of quality homes faster and more efficiently, all whilst offering a more competitive alternative to traditional methods.
