New homes for local people in Stretham and Gamlingay
We were very excited to be able to offer some brand-new homes to our customers during 2024-25. The 11 new homes we took ownership of are all fantastic.
Initially, we purchased 6 homes on a lovely development in Stretham, consisting of 2 houses and 4 bungalows. These homes were allocated in partnership with a local community land trust, ensuring the homes went to local people who had the highest housing need.
In addition, we purchased 5 brand-new flats in Gamlingay, in a modern purpose-built block. These 5 flats all benefit from having a high energy-efficient rating with high levels of sound proofing and insulation.
The new homes are all now occupied by local customers.

Carol Harrington in Stretham shared her positive experience:
“Everything is lovely. I like the fact there are new radiators, new windows, the space outside and the place it’s situated – I am back to where I came from. I’ve lived in this village for 20 years. The house is great; everything that has been put in is good, for me, it’s perfect.
The process of moving was fine – when I called, someone always answered the phone and responded to my emails. I love it, I do love it.”
Michal Lukac, one of our new residents in Gamlingay said “The whole process with HHS was straightforward – the team I dealt with were all really helpful. I hope to stay here long-term if I am able to. I am really happy here – it’s nice and quiet, and we feel safe as a family.”
