Guinness are committed to providing as many high-quality homes as possible and to playing a significant part in tackling the country’s housing crisis. By March 2030 we aim to complete over 8,000 new homes; 7,000 of which will be affordable.

As a Strategic Partner of both Homes England and the Greater London Authority, we have grant funding that will enable many of these homes to be affordable homes. We also build homes for sale, both outright and as Shared Ownership. We are growing our land development pipeline to make it happen and have funding immediately available. Our strong financial position and track record means we confidently expect to invest over £2bn in the coming years.
