Vistry partners with Plymouth Community Homes to deliver 18 more affordable homes at Sherford
Vistry, the UK’s leading specialist mixed-tenure housebuilder, has agreed a deal with Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) for a further 18 affordable homes at its Sherford development on the edge of Plymouth.
The agreement includes 13 homes for social rent and five for shared ownership through PCH’s sales brand, SO Living. The two, three and four-bedroom properties will help meet demand for affordable homes, including larger homes for local families.
The latest deal brings the total number of PCH homes secured at Sherford to 145, following the acquisition of 127 homes from Vistry in 2024 and 2025. The additional homes are under construction and are expected to be available from spring 2027.
Peter Tannian, Managing Director for Vistry Devon & Cornwall, said: “These additional homes will give more local families the opportunity to make Sherford their home, whether through social rent or shared ownership. The mix includes larger properties, helping to meet the need for high-quality affordable homes with room for families to grow. Working with Plymouth Community Homes, we’re making a wider choice of homes available as this new community takes shape.”
Kerry McCullough, Project Manager at Plymouth Community Homes, said: “We are pleased to be working with Vistry again to deliver even more much-needed new homes in the thriving town of Sherford, bringing the total number of PCH homes secured across the development to 145. We are confident that the high-quality homes being built will be a valuable addition to our growing number of affordable homes available for local people and families who need a home that suits them. We are very proud to be part of this exciting development, helping to meet local housing need both in Plymouth and the South Hams, where demand for affordable housing significantly exceeds the number of homes available, while strengthening the local community.”
The agreement builds on Vistry’s wider partnership with PCH, which also includes 125 affordable homes in the north of Plymouth and 45 additional homes at Matford Brook in Exeter.
Sherford is a growing new community on the edge of Plymouth and into the South Hams countryside. Once complete, it is planned to include more than 5,500 homes, alongside schools, community hubs, sports and leisure facilities, shops and public open spaces, including a 500-acre country park.
