And we won! Our Head of Marketing Nathalie White proudly collected our award for Best First Time Buyer Home for #VarcoeRoadSE16 at the @EveningStandard New Homes Awards this afternoon. We are so proud of this development, our first in Southwark Council. Well done team!

If you're attending the Conservative Party Conference don't miss this Demos panel: our CEO @MarcVlessing with Michael Gove, Stephen Bush and @LondonYimby will be exploring ambitious ideas and innovative solutions to create a fairer housing market that’s open to everyone:

📢 JOIN US 📢 How can we create a fairer housing market open to all? If you're at the Conservative Party Conference on Monday, join our keynote speaker Michael Gove and more brilliant panellists to discuss how we can level up housing opportunity. 👇 ow.ly/yHrZ50GhLG4

Marc CEO Pocket Living urges Michael Gove to think about the housing offer for young people who keep cities vibrant. Our research shows that 62% of young London renters don't want to leave the city to buy but only 2 in 10 are able to save for a deposit

Conclusions: it's time to reframe the planning debate to have a constructive conversation about how we build more and show the benefits for the community. Lots of agreement that now is the time to unlock delivery of all tenures and open up home ownership Pocket Living Demos

Some positive support for housing in today’s Budget but a bolder approach is still needed if we are to properly fix our dysfunctional housing market. Funding for brownfield delivery should be community led not council driven and open to all if it is to achieve its full potential

Croydon is the 4th most affordable borough in London for first time buyers. Here's Pocket Living Development Director Thomasin Renshaw talking about our #AddiscombeGrove development, as well as the opportunities within the area. #affordablehousing #firsttimebuyers

Thank you to Cllr Denise Scott-Mcdonald and Cllr Anthony Okoreke for joining Pocket's @NickCuff4 & Eve McMahon at our Sail Street development today. 🏡 We are pleased to be working with Royal Borough of Greenwich to deliver more affordable homes, like this, for first time buyers.

Last week I showed Ben Everitt a Pocket Living home as an example of our quality design and successful use of modern methods of construction for first time home owners on a small infill site in central London.

Delighted that Southwark Council planning committee have tonight approved two Pocket Living developments in the Old Kent Road area. 139 new homes for local people including many affordable Pocket and other homes, the product of a lot of hard work from the Pocket team

In 1988 40% of new homes were built by #SMEhousebuilders, today it's just 10%. Great to show Andrew an affordable Pocket Living home and share our recommendations for how to unlock SME delivery

It was a pleasure to meet with such engaging pupils from #MariaFidelisCatholicSchool. Our younger generation are the future and it was great to get their questions on entrepreneurship and why getting the right mix of housing into the UK is such a challenge. @speakrs4schools

Young people are the beating heart of this Country. 📕Our research tells us that owning a home is a key aspiration in life for most young people. It is important that the Government now acts to make this a reality. #homeownership #citymakers

Thank you Marc Vlessing for speaking to students today #Inspiration 👏👏👏

The view above us all seated in St Paul’s today to celebrate the magnificent achievements of #TonyPidgeley . A generous man who always somehow found the time to offer you his wisdom and experience. Wonderful tributes and splendid occasion organised by Berkeley Group

It was quite an occasion yesterday , A great life well remembered, Tony would have been proud of the precise organisation !

This year, we have been working closely with Government to promote innovative policy proposals that will unlock the delivery of more affordable homes across the country. We are delighted that the Government has now committed to reviewing these proposals. ft.com/content/9911ef…
