Ben Denton, head of strategic growth for L&G with a focus on growing the affordable housing business, joined us for the latest Battle & Bunce Talking Property podcast.
Ben was previously managing director of L&G’s affordable housing division, following a long senior career in the housing sector.
L&G’s Affordable Housing Fund, launched last year, has raised £510 million of funding and the business is on track to have delivered, or have in the pipeline, 10,000 homes by next year.
Through its growing number of affordable housing developments in and around the Golden Triangle, L&G, and other affordable housing providers, are key enablers of regional growth.
Ben talked to us about the booming Oxford-Cambridge corridor and how that has to be balanced with the affordability crisis, such as in Oxfordshire where average house prices are around 10 times average earnings.
