SME Home builder fund – Levelling Up

A development loan from Homes England helped the newly-established Sky-House to deliver its innovative take on ‘back-to-back’ urban housing and grow its business.

Through the government’s Levelling Up Home Building Fund, Homes England provides development loans to small and medium housebuilders. With the dual aim of getting much needed homes built, and creating a more diverse and resilient housing market, the Fund supports smaller house builders that struggle to access finance through traditional bank lenders, with loans starting from £250,000.

We also encourage innovation, both in the kind of homes that are built and the way they are delivered. Schemes that feature off-site manufacturing, community-led housing projects, or serviced plots for custom and self-builders are all examples of innovative projects that the Fund can support.
