HSPG: A social impact real estate company

Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.

There is a critical lack of affordable housing across the UK, affecting the most vulnerable people in our community.

We build long-term partnerships with Local Authorities to acquire and manage demand-driven social and affordable housing across various tenures, as per the image below.

Across HSPG’s Living Sector platforms, we are actively acquiring 2,500 high-quality homes from national housebuilders and developers by the end of 2025. These properties are managed by our experienced team, grouped into portfolios, and funded by our institutional investment partners.

HSPG aims to positively impacts our residents’ lives, while providing long-term, sustainable returns for our investment partners.

Core mission:

Your core mission is to deliver safe, compliant properties and excellent customer service.

You will deliver operational and customer-focused services across our Asset Management and PPHA platforms to ensure properties are well-maintained, safe and compliant. You are the main point of contact for customers, landlords, local authorities, housing providers and registered providers, ensuring that relationships are well-managed and customer-centric services are delivered.

When onboarding new housing providers, you will ensure they meet our robust due diligence process, administer lease arrangements and work closely with local authorities and the DWP to ensure rents and service charges are set correctly and are in payment.

You will ensure our housing providers continue to deliver well-managed homes by conducting regular inspections and support audits, reporting on performance and ensuring we meet all KPIs.
