Lucy Richardson, Adele Scrivens and Josh Clark, answered the following questions around the new Homes England shared ownership model lease: - When is the new lease compulsory/ discretionary? - What are the changes that have been made? - What are the advantages and drawbacks for Housing Associations?
And last but certainly not least, Aileen Evans (Chief Executive of Grand Union Housing Group and the immediate past President of the Chartered Institute of Housing), took the fl oor for her second consecutive appearance at this event. Aileen started by discussing the challenges through which housing associations are currently navigating, including reducing carbon emissions from homes, a loss of trust, building safety, a shortfall in housing stock and supply, the cost of living crisis and the current political climate. Following nicely on from Andy’s ‘glass half full’ approach to the housing market, Aileen discussed the opportunities for housing associations; in getting to know their customers they can really look at who the housing associations are there for, what housing associations can/should do and who are they building for. T e event fi nished with a Q&A session, with
the panel discussing some insightful questions from the audience, including the possible future of T e Arc, whether First Homes and the new model shared ownership leases are genuinely ‘aff ordable’ and going to help many people, opportunities for
joint ventures between housing associations and private developers and how housing associations, developers and their advisors can all play their part in pushing development. T e overall message was clear; whilst there are undoubtedly challenges and uncertainties in the current market, there are plenty of opportunities to seize for those building both private residential and aff ordable housing. Ideally situated in Knowlhill in Milton Keynes (as well as having
offi ces in London and Gatwick) and with a large team of property experts, including dedicated development, social housing, planning and construction lawyers, who adopt a collaborative and commercial approach, EMW is perfectly placed to provide a one-stop shop for developers and housing associations with their legal work.
