About the Company

Vistry Group

Housebuilding and partnerships for affordable housing

Vistry Group is a UK housebuilder that operates through two main areas: Housebuilding and Partnerships. It develops and sells homes and entire communities, and increasingly focuses on its Partnerships division to deliver affordable, mixed-tenure housing in collaboration with other organizations. Its homes are sold under brands such as Bovis Homes, Linden Homes, and Countryside Homes. The partnerships model allows Vistry to work with housing associations and private buyers to create affordable, sustainable neighborhoods. Unlike some builders that rely mainly on selling privately, Vistry emphasizes collaboration and scale in the affordable housing market via its partnerships arm, which is positioned as a lower-risk, high-growth part of the business. The company's goal is to be a leading player in the UK's affordable housing sector by delivering sustainable homes and communities through partnership-led development.
