A landmark agreement has been signed for the first ever affordable housing development of its kind on Portland. Dorchester-based Koori Limited, part of the Redtale Group of companies, has joined forces with Portland Community Land Trust (CLT) and East Boro Housing Trust (EBHT), part of the Aster Group, for this trailblazing scheme. Nine affordable homes will be built for local people as part of the regeneration of Portland’s former Southwell Primary School site off Sweet Hill Lane. The CLT properties will be available to rent at below market rates to local people with a connection to Portland, giving tenants a chance to live in their community with peace of mind over security of tenure and affordability. The properties will not be available as second homes or as holiday lets. Koori has provided land and is building the development for the CLT scheme – the first on Portland – as part of its circa £15m May Bower Gardens scheme. The first phase of May Bower Gardens is on course for completion in the autumn of this year. CLTs, which are a form of community-led housing, are set up and run by people within their local communities to develop and manage homes as well as other assets. The CLTs act as long-term stewards of the properties, ensuring the homes remain genuinely affordable, not just for now but for every future occupier. Representatives from Koori, EBHT and Portland CLT have now signed a contract for the site. The first residents are expected to move in before Christmas of this year. The homes, a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom properties, will be built by Koori and managed by housing association EBHT on behalf of the CLT, which will own the freehold. Portland CLT board is greatly encouraged to see this project moving forward. They said: “We are aware that demand continues to increase for good-quality, affordable housing on Portland. “The aim is for May Bower Gardens to be the first of a number of CLT projects on the island. We’re very grateful for the support of all partners in the project.” There are currently 500 applicants being processed on the housing register who have a Portland connection or who have expressed Portland as their preferred option. Malcolm Curtis, Chief Executive the Redtale Group, said: “As a local business with its heart in the community, we’re pleased to support this pioneering project to create the first CLT on Portland. “The homes will match the high-quality and environmental sustainability of Koori’s traditionally built properties and where possible we use the best local materials, including Portland Stone quarried on the island, and tried and tested energy-efficient solutions as well as a local workforce. “Putting pen to paper with the Portland CLT is a significant milestone on our journey to deliver these desirable affordable homes for local people and marks another major step forward in the regeneration of this important site in a stunning location on the Jurassic Coast.” Kevin Hodder, Director of Partnership and Engagement at Aster Group who also oversees EBHT’s development programme, said: “EBHT specialises in developing small groups of affordable homes in villages within Dorset for the benefit of local communities. “CLTs are a brilliant way to deliver affordable housing which local communities both want and need. “We’re looking forward to working with Portland CLT and Koori to deliver these properties which will provide long-term security to those who eventually get to call them home. “With energy-efficient design and technologies, customers living in these homes will also benefit from lower energy bills. Coupled alongside the affordable rent, it should help keep overall costs down.” Councillor Gill Taylor, who is Dorset Council Cabinet Member for Health and Housing, said: “The site has been transformed from redundant school buildings on the old primary school site to provide nine affordable rented homes for local residents. “Dorset Council supported this work by providing a Community Housing grant and we worked collaboratively from start to finish with our partners including Middlemarch Community Led Housing, who have supported Portland CLT and EBHT. “This development demonstrates our commitment to community land trusts in Dorset and we hope it will encourage more community led housing to provide the affordable homes we need for local people.” May Bower Gardens will comprise 48 homes in total. The first phase of 14 properties – a mix of two, three and four-bedroom houses – on the 1.3 hectare site is due for completion autumn 2024. There are about 25 people working directly on the site, all local trades people including apprentices. The workforce also includes three specialist stone layers, all from Portland, who walk to work carrying on a generational tradition of stone laying on island. Stone used in the development is cut from Albion Stone’s Bowers Quarry, just up the road from May Bower Gardens. The development is due for final completion in 2027. The CLT homes form part of Koori’s affordable housing contribution for the site. The properties are being built using air-tight and thermally efficient construction methods along with low zero carbon (LZC) technologies. They include electric vehicle charging throughout and air source heat pumps. Portland CLT is a community benefit organisation run by an elected board of members from the community to meet the housing needs of local people. It is among several CLTs in Dorset, which work closely with the Dorset Council housing department to progress sites across the county. Koori Limited, as part of the Redtale group of companies, has a long track record of delivering high quality, well-designed and customer-focused developments. Koori’s recent property developments include The Grove, the multi award-winning Lorton Park and Monterey Place, all situated in Weymouth, Dorset. The nine-strong company aims to make a difference in everything it does. Its objective is to ‘do better: better planning, better by design, better build and better customer service’.

Sutton Council has appointed Lovell as the preferred bidder to rebuild Elm Grove estate in the town centre. Lovell has been selected to redevelop the existing homes – between Sutton High Street and Throwley Way – at a meeting of the Housing, Economy & Business Committee in July 2024. The new homes will meet high sustainability standards meaning more comfort, energy efficiency, and lower heating bills for residents. The Elm Grove scheme will be located next to another key council project at Northern Gateway, opposite Asda, which will provide new high-street premises in the historic White Building for Sutton College, the borough’s adult education centre. Both projects are key parts of the Council’s plans to transform the town centre. In the past few months, several key projects have started coming to life: the co-working and wellbeing space at Oru Sutton in the old BHS building opened to the public; works have started at the Northern Gateway and 137-145 High Street sites; and the new Throwley Yard cinema launched this summer in the former Chicago’s nightclub. 79% of residents voted in favour of the plans to redevelop Elm Grove in March 2022 and works are scheduled to start in May 2025. All existing eligible residents choosing to stay on the estate will be offered a new home. Councillor Jake Short, Chair of Sutton’s Housing, Economy and Business Committee, said: “This is a really exciting step forward in the Council’s plans to build new quality and affordable homes for our residents in the heart of Sutton town centre, and tackle the Housing Crisis. “Our new council homes across the borough have already been recognised for their high design and environmental standards. The selection of an experienced development partner means our goal to deliver incredible homes and open spaces for Elm Grove residents can now move to the next stage.. “We have been driven by what Elm Grove residents want their future homes to look like and now this vision is set to become a reality with construction works currently scheduled to start early Summer 2025.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Cushman & Wakefield has partnered with Property Inspect to manage compliance across its largest real estate assets. The partnership with its Asset Management Team in Ireland is enhancing compliance management across its major real estate assets, bringing cost savings and operational efficiencies to its asset management strategy. Property Inspect, the leading provider of building compliance and real estate solutions, is thrilled to announce its partnership with the esteemed global commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield. Working with its Asset Management Team in Ireland, this partnership signifies a pivotal advancement in its property inspection processes. It empowers the Cushman & Wakefield Asset Management Team to bring their facility services in-house, saving the need for expensive external resources. Recognising the manual, costly and resource-heavy nature of its inspection efforts to date, Cushman & Wakefield approached Property Inspect for a streamlined and efficient way to simplify its inspection workflows, with an aim to bolster compliance and expand the capabilities of its internal team. With an annual inspection mandate covering 8000 assets and diverse requirements ranging from Fire Risk to Health & Safety and meridian compliance, it sought a partner capable of delivering an easy-to-use and easy to integrate inspection system that can offer actionable insights to multiple teams and stakeholders. “After meticulous evaluation, we chose Property Inspect for its unparalleled service quality, adaptability, and seamless integration capabilities,” remarked Hazel O’ Carroll, Associate Director, Asset Services at Cushman & Wakefield. “Their commitment to excellence and tailored approach aligned perfectly with our vision for streamlined operations.” Property Inspect responded swiftly to Cushman & Wakefield’s needs, addressing key priorities such as base scoring methodologies and implementing a grading scoring system for Meridian compliance risk management. The partnership has yielded significant outcomes, including enhanced data collection, user-friendliness, and scalability, culminating in a roll-out to one of its largest assets, Dublin Airport Central.

Landlords carry out repair or maintenance work on buy-to-let properties an astonishing 72 times throughout their ownership, with costs exceeding £34,000 – that’s according to recent research. Whether it’s a minor mishap or major catastrophe, property damage can impose substantial financial burdens and headaches. But which types of property damage are the biggest nightmare for landlords? Keen to find out, the buy-to-let insurance provider Alan Boswell Group delved into common home damages and their estimated repair costs alongside Dave Sayce at Compare My Move, to reveal the most expensive fixes that can cost landlords a fortune. Key findings: Home woes: 10 costliest property damages for landlords Rank Property damage Estimated costs to repair 1 Underpinning £5,000 – £25,000 2 Roof repairs £3,000 – £10,500 3 Electrical rewiring £1,500 – £10,000 4 Rendering £2,000 – £8,500 5 Plumbing and water damage £450 – £5,000 6 Damp £200 – £5,000 7 Flooring repairs £500 – £1,800 8 Painting and plastering £800 – £1,500 9 Mould removal £200 – £1,200 10 Heating and boilers repairs £100 – £500 Potentially costing landlords upwards of £25,000 depending on property size, underpinning stands out as the priciest home repair. This structural intervention becomes necessary when the foundations of a property weaken – often due to persistent subsidence – prompting a complex process that incurs eye-watering expenses. Fortunately, underpinning is only needed in less than 10% of UK properties affected by subsidence. Heath Alexander-Bew, from Buy-to-let insurance provider Alan Boswell Group, shared: “Thankfully underpinning is typically only reserved for severe cases of foundation instability, and often considered a last resort. Seek professional advice to determine the best solution for your property’s needs, cost-effective alternatives like soil stabilisation and resin injection are available at a fraction of the cost.” Roof repairs are the second most expensive task to undertake, potentially costing landlords up to £10,500 for a complete replacement. Typically, roofs require a full repair every 25 years, although this timeline can fluctuate based on factors such as weather conditions, property age, and roofing material. Rubber roof and tiles are generally cheaper compared to slate or fibreglass. However, if you’re dealing with just a handful of cracked or missing tiles needing replacement, the average cost hovers around £200. “Look for common signs such as missing or cracked tiles, water stains on ceilings, and damp patches in the attic. Regularly inspect your roof, especially after severe weather – identifying damage early can save landlords significant costs.” The third most expensive fix for landlords is electrical rewiring, which can zap up to a whopping £10,000 for a full property rewiring. Around 7,000 house fires in the UK are caused by electrical faults annually. To prevent loose wiring and ageing electrical installations from sparking unwanted fires, watch for signs of wear-and-tear like flickering lights, buzzing sounds from sockets, and regular fuse box tripping. “Electrical safety checks, which average around £215, should be conducted more frequently to ensure your property meets current regulatory requirements. Additionally, monitor whether your home has surpassed the 25-year mark since its last complete rewiring. Updating older systems not only enhances safety but also helps prevent more extensive repairs in the future.” Rendering comes fourth on the list, with estimated repair costs soaring up to £8,500. However, applying a fresh coat of render will not only protect your exterior from penetrating damp and prolongs lifespan, but also boosts your property value, potentially increasing your asking price sizably. Rounding off the top five most expensive property damages is plumbing and water damage, with landlordspotentially losing up to £5,000 in severe cases like water damage restoration costs post-flooding. Almost 7,000 UK homes and businesses have been flooded in the past 18 months – the wettest period on record – underscoring the widespread impact of water-related issues exacerbated by the UK’s notorious weather.
