Social housing finance
Social housing finance encompasses the funding of social and affordable housing projects led by government bodies and non-profit organisations. The sector continues to see a large volume of transactions year on year, driven by the ever-growing demand for social and affordable housing. Lawyers in this field collaborate with a diverse group of clients and stakeholders – including housing associations, arm’s length management organisations, government agencies and local authorities – to advise on a wide range of funding transactions. These include facility refinancings, public bonds, private placements, refinancings emanating from mergers/group reorganisations, intra-group funding arrangements, interest rate derivatives and a variety of sustainable finance funding options.
