Adderstone Living, one of the UK’s fastest growing affordable housing developers, has expanded across the UK with new regional offices and a year of strong and sustainable growth.
The company has moved beyond its Newcastle headquarters to establish a wider national presence with new offices now open in Yorkshire, the Midlands and the North West. This strengthens its ability to work closely with communities and Registered Providers while maintaining the values that have shaped its success.
The company has grown from a single location to a fully national organisation supported by local teams with regional insight. This approach ensures that developments reflect the needs of the area and that key decisions are shaped by local knowledge rather than national trends.
Reflecting on the progress of the past year, Stephen McCoy, Managing Director at Adderstone Living, said: “Our growth has been driven by the strength of our people and our commitment to doing things the right way. We focus on building responsibly and creating homes that stand the test of time. Expanding across the UK helps us stay close to the places where we build and ensures our work is shaped by genuine community understanding.”
Every home completed by Adderstone Living in the past year achieved an EPC A rating. Only 7.37% of new build homes in the UK reached this standard in the same period according to the HBF “Watt a Save” summary of Government EPC registration data. Adderstone Living expects to maintain this 100% A rating record throughout the remainder of 2025. This, alongside being the first UK developer to secure nutrient neutrality credits through Natural England’s nutrient neutrality system in 2023. This performance demonstrates its commitment to delivering energy efficient homes that provide long term value for residents.
The government’s new £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme sets out a 10-year commitment to deliver up to 300,000 affordable homes across England, with at least 60% for social rent. As a key funding mechanism, the programme aligns closely with Homes England’s Strategic Plan for 2025–2030, which focuses on accelerating housing delivery, strengthening partnerships and supporting place-based growth.
This long-term policy and funding framework presents a significant opportunity for regional developers to play a meaningful role in meeting national housing priorities while delivering locally informed, high-quality homes.
Stephen McCoy welcomed the announcement and said the programme provides a strong platform for continued sustainable and responsible growth. “The Social and Affordable Homes Programme has the potential to reshape how affordable homes are delivered across the country. For developers like Adderstone Living, it puts us in a strong position to support Homes England’s priorities set out in its five-year Strategic Plan, opening the door to further partnerships and enabling us to contribute even more to the communities we work in.”
Peter Galbraith, Operations Director, said: “Our approach is built around using local subcontractors and suppliers who know the area and deliver reliable work. Their involvement helps us keep quality high and ensure our projects run to schedule. As we expand into new regions we will continue to work with local teams and maintain our focus on delivering well-built and well-designed homes with no exceptions.”
Adderstone Living will continue to align its work with the national focus on sustainability. The company remains committed to building homes that offer quality, efficiency and longevity and to playing a significant role in the next decade of national housing investment.
