The Levelling Up Home Building Fund is designed for housebuilders based in England that are struggling to access finance from traditional lenders. Loans can be tailored to your individual circumstances and can be used to meet the development costs of building homes for sale or rent. Financing is also available to support community-led housing projects, serviced plots for custom and self-builders, off-site manufacturing, new entrants to the market and groups of small firms working in consortia to deliver larger sites.

Our flexible approach, along with our in-depth knowledge of the housing sector, makes us uniquely placed to support businesses of all sizes to deliver new homes.

The Levelling Up Home Building Fund can help if you:

• are a UK-registered corporate entity or limited liability partnership
• plan to build 5 or more homes on a site in England
• have a controlling interest in the land, with outline planning permission in place

More information about the fund can be found on our guidance page, and you can also arrange a call with one of our regional specialists by:

• calling 0300 1234 500
• emailing fundingenquiries@homesengland.gov.uk
• completing a short online form
