The webinar will provide a practical overview of the newly established National Housing Bank (“NHB”) and the opportunity it could present for developers, housebuilders, registered providers and regeneration partners.
The session will cover:
The purpose, structure and strategic objectives of the NHB
The types of funding and support expected to be available, including debt, equity and guarantee products
Which parts of the market the NHB is targeting — from SME builders through to larger mixed-use and regeneration schemes
How organisations can engage and position themselves to access future opportunities
The webinar will focus on practical market implications rather than policy theory, helping attendees understand where the NHB may influence development activity, funding availability and housing delivery over the coming years.
Attendees will gain:
A clear understanding of what the National Housing Bank is and how it is expected to operate
Insight into the funding products and interventions likely to be most relevant to the residential development market
Practical perspectives on how the NHB may support viability, infrastructure delivery and access to capital
An overview of the opportunities this may create for developers, housebuilders, investors and regeneration schemes
Early market insight into how organisations may wish to position themselves as the NHB begins deploying capital
This session will be particularly relevant for:
Residential developers and housebuilders
Land promoters and master developers
Registered providers and affordable housing partners
Investors and development funders
Local authorities and regeneration stakeholders
