These are being acquired from Miller Homes at its Orchard Mill site with the homes consisting of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units.

The acquisition was made on behalf of Long Harbour’s latest Single Family Housing Fund (LHSFF), which is currently deploying up to £600m into single family housing assets.

The vehicle has a total target raise of £1.2bn and is acquiring new-build family homes across the UK, with a focus on the South and South East of England.

The Orchard Mill houses have been forwarded funded due to the location’s advantageous position. It’s situated 13 miles southeast of the M25 and is less than 10 minutes’ drive from Maidstone Hospital which employs over 8,000 people.

Long Harbour was advised on the transaction by Knights plc.

“The latest investment into our single-family housing fund marks another significant step in our expansion across the London commuter belt,” said Jack Spearman, managing director of LHSFF.

“Ditton is a desirable residential location with a growing population, and these homes will meet the strong demand for high-quality homes in a well-connected part of Kent.”

Matthew Bench, group managing director of partnerships at Miller Homes, added: “This deal underlines Miller Homes’ continued growth in partnership housing and further establishes us as a trusted delivery partner.

“Future residents can expect high-quality, energy-efficient homes within a vibrant new community, and we’re proud to play a key role in supporting much-needed housing for the area.”
