A2 Housing Group
A2 Housing Group was formed in 2005 as a result of a merger between Airways Housing Group and Apex Housing Group. More recently, A2HG merged with Winchester Housing Group. These partnerships have created one of the largest housing groups in the South East, firmly establishing A2HG as a long-term player within the sector.
A2HG's portfolio includes 15,000 properties across a range of tenures with a development pipeline of a further 3,000 homes over the next three years, putting it in the top 3 developing Housing Associations in the UK. Set to merge with Dominion Housing Group in October 2008, A2 Housing Group will double in size again within the next year. With the development opportunities and economies of scales that this will bring, this is an exciting time for the organisation.
The Group has an annual turnover of nearly £70m and generates a surplus for reinvestment of more than £10m. A2 also has partnering status with the Housing Corporation.
A2HG delivers a diverse portfolio of housing solutions including; affordable rent, shared ownership, key worker housing, student accommodation, supported housing, build for sale, private rented and other commercial interests. Most of A2HG's current housing stock is located in Surrey, Berkshire, West London, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire.
