A new multi-million-pound funding package will enable Wyatt Homes to expand its residential development operations across South England significantly
The Poole-based housebuilder has secured backing from Homes England’s Home Building Fund and HSBC UK to deliver over 300 new homes annually across Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire.
The partnership shows public and private sector investment alignment to address regional housing needs and support the government’s objective of delivering 1.5 million new homes during this parliamentary term.
Driving housing supply through collaborative financing
The finance deal will allow Wyatt Homes to increase its annual output and improve its development footprint, supporting private sales and affordable housing. With demand for housing continuing to rise, particularly in the South, this collaboration between Homes England and HSBC UK shows the growing importance of blended finance in driving housing supply at scale.
Homes England’s Home Building Fund provides development finance to small and medium-sized housebuilders, helping to unlock sites and accelerate delivery. This funding structure supports market diversification and creates better resilience in the housebuilding sector.
Track record of delivery and growth
Wyatt Homes brings over 30 years of regional expertise to this partnership, with a portfolio of high-quality residential schemes demonstrating strong design principles and construction standards.
The business benefitted from a similar finance arrangement in 2022, which helped create over 1,000 new homes across multiple sites. Building on this momentum, the latest round of funding will enable the company to scale its operations further while maintaining its commitment to quality and placemaking.
Strengthening SME housebuilder capacity
This latest funding initiative reinforces SME housebuilders’ role in achieving national housing targets. Smaller developers like Wyatt Homes often bring agility, local knowledge, and design-led approaches that contribute to a more diverse and competitive housing market.
By using both public funding from Homes England and commercial finance from HSBC UK, the partnership hopes to bridge the financing gap often faced by regional developers. This model enables housebuilders to de-risk development pipelines and pursue long-term growth in key housing markets.
Supporting sustainable and long-term community growth
In addition to increasing the housing supply, the developments will create sustainable, long-lasting communities across the South of England. The funding will help ensure that each scheme delivers more than just homes, focusing on infrastructure, green spaces, and integration into existing communities.
With housing delivery a key priority in government policy and regional planning, this funding package shows the effectiveness of cross-sector collaboration in accelerating development timelines and addressing critical housing shortages.
As the housing sector continues to navigate market fluctuations, rising costs, and changing regulatory environments, partnerships like this present a replicable model for sustainable growth. Such frameworks can drive housing output and broader economic development by aligning public policy objectives with private capital and experienced developers.
