The agreement builds on the partnership between Vistry and Sigma, with Countryside Partnerships having been a framework partner on Sigma's BTR delivery programme since 2014.

The 5,000 new homes will be delivered to Sigma across a number of UK regions and will complement Vistry's Partnerships model of delivering the right mix of housing tenures that communities require to build long-term and sustainable neighbourhoods.

Greg Fitzgerald, CEO at Vistry Group, said: "This framework agreement with Sigma is another great example of how our Partnerships model can deliver at scale the mix of housing tenures that residents across the UK desperately need.

“BTR homes continue to be an important offering for our mixed-tenure communities, and we are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Sigma."

Graham Barnet, CEO and founder of Sigma Capital, said: "We are delighted to be extending our long-term relationship with Vistry.

“We're looking forward to delivering many more much needed BTR family housing over the next five years with our partner Vistry.

"Vistry has been the majority delivery partner across our estate and define the concept of partnership in both our complementary models to deliver family homes for rent at scale."
