In a significant expansion of its affordable housing portfolio, Savills Investment Management has acquired 105 operational homes in Oxfordshire from Blenheim Estates for its Simply Affordable Homes fund. The transaction, completed through its for-profit Registered Provider Simply Affordable Homes RP Limited, marks the fund's third acquisition and second transaction of 2025, with the portfolio now comprising 367 affordable rent, intermediate rent and shared-ownership homes throughout the UK.
The newly acquired properties feature a mix of intermediate market rent and shared ownership tenures, all carrying EPC B ratings and delivering significant social impact with average rent levels at approximately 60% of market rent. This acquisition follows the fund's recent purchase of 94 income-producing homes at Heyford Park, another major development in Oxfordshire that forms part of a larger regeneration project set to deliver over 6,000 homes, 50,000 square metres of commercial space, and essential infrastructure.
