Our development arm Latimer is buying land across the UK to create new communities and tackle the housing crisis.
Strategic land planning and development
We have a specialist land team that works with landowners, agents, local authorities and developers to buy land and deliver new homes.
Latimer operates across England. We have a particular focus on London, the south east, east of England, the north west, West Midlands, Yorkshire, and the M62 corridor. Teams in each region provide local knowledge and expertise.

Our joint venture partners include:
- Bellway Homes
- Countryside Properties

Providing affordable housing
Latimer develops a range of schemes, from those for private sale through to developments including a mixture of tenures such as shared ownership, social and affordable rent, build-to-rent and student accommodation.
We’re buying land for immediate development as well as sites that we can build on in the longer term. We're interested in any opportunities which will deliver more than 100 homes. We buy land for small and large developments, from low density housing in rural areas to high density apartments in towns and cities.Our mission is to provide homes for those who need them most.
Our credentials
Latimer is a partner of choice for a growing number of major builders and developers, who recognise that we offer certainty and stability.
We’re fully funded, with in-house development expertise. Our track record of providing affordable housing stretches back more than a century. That’s because we are part of the Clarion Housing Group - the country’s largest social landlord and a strategic partner of Homes England.
With an annual turnover of £1.087bn and an operating surplus of £232m in 2024-25, Clarion has strong financial foundations.
