Success in Acquisition in Pioneering Locations
Galliard Homes has always operated in central London and has been highly successful in acquiring sites in pioneering locations where there has previously been little or no new homes development. Examples include the redevelopment of Papermill Wharf, County Hall, The White House, Spice Quay and Tea Trade Wharf. Galliard Homes has unlocked the value in these sites, and buyers have benefitted from the capital value uplift as the areas around the projects have been regenerated and property values have risen. For example, homes in Papermill Wharf, originally sold for £50,000 are now valued at £500,000, whilst homes in The White House on London’s South Bank primarily sold for £99,000 and are now valued at over £500,000. Galliard Homes has a reputation for pricing its projects extremely competitively and a proven track record of generating strong forward sales on the projects it undertakes, with the homes selling to UK end users, individual investors and overseas buyers. Stephen Conway, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Galliard Homes said: “The prime central London residential market remains extremely resilient and there is both a sustained and strong domestic and international demand for new homes in the capital’s best addresses. Due to this demand, Galliard Homes has increased its level of development in prime central London, and we are seeking further expansion in the capital which we view as a safe, sustainable and lucrative investment with the potential for good returns.”
