WELCOME
At Rural Housing Partnership, we are passionate about creating rural opportunities that ensure local people are prioritised for affordable housing and can continue living in the villages they love; leaving a positive legacy.
​
Rural Housing Partnership specialise in rural exception sites which are specifically aimed at the needs of the village and its community. Rural Exception Sites provide affordable housing which remains available for local people in perpetuity, allowing people of all ages to remain in the village, who otherwise may have been forced to move away due to increasing house prices.
About us
Rural Housing Partnership was formed after the founder wished to turn the tide on village decline and allow those who may have been forced to leave their childhood village due to high house prices, to remain.
​
Combined with a passion for rural areas and affordable housing, we believe that well designed and sympathetic affordable developments can be a lifeline for a village.
​
Rural areas face a more acute shortage of affordable housing but also have additional pressures. Detached homes dominate village markets and command premium rural prices and private rented housing is expensive and insecure.
​
Our sole focus is to deliver affordable homes for local people in rural communities.

​
We understand that many rural communities may feel powerless when speculative development offers little or no benefit to local people and their community. Local authorities allocate land for development in their local plans. Overall housebuilding continues but the supply of genuinely affordable homes is falling. The process can also feel top-down and public-sector led. We are here to help change that.
​​​
We have in-house experience of rural exception schemes and building for housing associations in rural areas and have adopted a joined-up approach with landowners, parishes, communities, and housing associations to identify rural exception housing opportunities.
​
We accept there is no single 'one size fits all' method to delivering rural exception schemes. We are here to complement existing partners and services to enhance the delivery of rural exception schemes.
​​
Whether you are a willing landowner, a parish council or a housing association and need a professional to lead and deliver a rural exception scheme then get in touch. We have the in-house skills to plan, design and build the affordable dwellings which allows us to offer a variety of partnership models to a housing association. ​​
