The homes are part of a development by St Edward – a joint venture between Prudential and the Berkeley Group – and are located in two blocks of affordable housing 1.5 miles from the victims’ former neighbourhood.

The blocks are currently nearing completion and will be made ready for the families to move in during July and August.

"We've got to start by finding each of them a home," said Tony Pidgley, chairman of the Berkeley Group.

"Somewhere safe and supportive, close to their friends and the places they know, so they can start to rebuild their lives.

“We will work night and day to get these homes ready."

Alex Jeffrey, chief executive of M&G Real Estates – which manages the property interests of Prudential – said: "We are shocked and deeply saddened by the Grenfell Tower fire and are obviously relieved that we can help in some small way by providing homes of high quality within the borough to some of the families who have been affected."
