A further five sites (388 units) in the South East are also appropriate for SFH and are within Fernham’s control.


  • Commensurate with Fernham Homes’ ambitious growth plans, the acquisition of the Faversham will offer the incoming investor an opportunity to create a long-term strategic partnership with our Client, who have a significant development pipeline and are building into their business model the additionality (in terms of plot sales) that institutional grade SFH investment offers.
