A huge congratulations to our development team for winning at the Wales Property Awards last night.

The team won the Sustainability Award for their work with J.G Hale Construction to create some of Wales' most environmentally friendly homes at our County Flats re-development.

Building new sustainable homes in our communities is at the heart of what we do.

Margam, Neath, Sandfields, Cwmafan and Port Talbot will all benefit from new Tai Tarian homes in the next couple of years.

Great morning at our Riverside Court complex in Pontardawe, where we helped The Orchard Project establish a brand new community orchard through planting fruit trees.

Looking forward to seeing these grow over the coming years and sampling the apples, pears and plums.

Well put.

An interesting fortnight ahead.

The last few finishing touches at County Flats phase 1.
This development has been our biggest & most innovative to date so we feel a tad emosh that residents will start moving in this week👏

The question now is when will Johnson be held accountable for this?

The April price cap announced today is significantly lower than January’s, but with consumers currently protected by the EPG, it is not the falling cap that households should be concerned with, but the rising rate of the government scheme.
