Rob Sumner, Residential Investment Director, Simple Life,  said: “Arranged through the BPF, we were honoured to welcome the housing minister to one of our larger schemes. Chris Pincher and his team were very enthusiastic about the positive impact Build To Rent is having on the housing industry, by not only in creating much needed additionality to housing numbers, but also providing the catalyst for larger, multi tenure developments..

Housing Minister RT Hon Christopher Pincher MP said “Boosting housing supply is a key part of our levelling up agenda and Stonefield Edge is a fantastic example of delivering new affordable homes for families and young people in the region.Simple Life Welcomes Housing Minister at Stonefield Edge
