R
ykneld Homes Ltd manages around 7,600 social properties across North East Derbyshire. Our footprint contains four towns, with surrounding rural areas, with housing stock dispersed between the
towns and villages. Rykneld Homes is based near Chesterfield and is wholly owned by North East
Derbyshire District Council. We are one of the largest employers in the district. We have a board of directors, including independent appointed individuals, council-appointed directors, and an independent chair. Rykneld Homes was established in 2007, registering with the Regulator of
Social Housing in 2013 in order to start developing, acquiring, and building our own housing. We now own 140 properties (including shared ownership) as a Registered Provider of Social Housing.
AIMS & GOALS Our fundamental objective over coming years is to provide more affordable housing: we have set ourselves a target of delivering 400 homes by 2027. It’s ambitious, but we believe it’s achievable.
We’ll build, buy back, and acquire homes – ensuring they meet the safe and
high standards required for social housing. To date, 276 approved homes have been gained through new build projects, buybacks and S106 acquisitions. We have recently become a Homes England (HE) developer partner. Securing
this status will enable future developments and acquisitions, which meet the capital funding guide, to be supported by grant funding. We’ve pledged to provide sustainable and environmentally friendly
developments, using new technologies wherever possible to continue driving down our carbon footprint. We’re seeing an increase in the number of people applying for housing and we
want to support them to have a safe and decent home. But it’s equally important to look aſter and improve the homes we already have, as well as supporting the people who live in them. Collaboration is key to achieving our goals and we’ll continue to work closely
with our parent Council and all our community partners. Our performance across all service areas is strong, particularly in relation to customer health and safety. For example, in response to the Housing Regulator
