NEAT were very pleased to see that Waltham Forest’s Cabinet approved moving to Heads of Terms on a Long Lease Investment (LLI) for the delivery of the first phase of a 600 home estate regeneration in East London.

Waltham Forest had agreed a Joint Venture with a national housebuilder, but they pulled out in 2023 citing adverse market conditions. They asked NEAT to help find an alternative funding route, and our links with major pension funds have identified an innovative solution.

The LLI gives momentum, resident confidence, decant capacity, and crucially will de-risk subsequent phases should the JV market return. The report can be found here (Item 52): https://democracy.walthamforest.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=287&MId=6140
