How it works

Beehive Affordable Homes delivers a structural and funding solution for both local authorities and housing associations. Explore how it works

Surplus affordable homes acquired from housing associations creating capital receipts for reinvestment in new affordable homes, retrofitting or enhanced safety

Homes within one hour’s travel to the civic centre are packaged into portfolios for particular local authorities

Initial lease payment of 70-75% of the Local Housing Allowance to ensure adequate cash flow

Retrofit grants of £10-£15k awarded for any properties falling below EPC rating C

Initial lease payment indexes annually by inflation

Beehive’s interest in the homes transfers for £1 at the end of the lease term

The home will then be debt free and 100% owned by the local authority
