Hidden Homes
Hidden homes
Since we completed our first hidden homes in 2003 there has been a steady stream of visitors to the town hall eager to find out how the programme works. We think there could be around 10,000 hidden homes on estates across the capital. By sharing a few of our secrets on this site we hope to encourage other councils to start looking at their own stock.
We have now built and let more than 130 hidden homes with a potential programme of around 300 new dwellings. This shows that creating high quality accommodation from existing disused premises can be a swift, cost effective and substantial response to the demand for new affordable homes.
