Habitat Escapes

Historically all of the Habitat First Group businesses have been quite separate. People bought a plot of land to build a house and we built some facilities, but that aside, we had a very hands- off approach. However, increasingly we found that owners were coming to us for help with renting their properties and arranging for them to be cleaned.

As such our rental, cleaning and maintenance arms were borne from customer demand.

We’re kind of on our own in terms of the quality and building with nature ethos, architecture and community. There’s nowhere else in the UK – in the world actually – where you’ve got an eclectic mix of architecture all designed by some of the best British architects.

One of the reasons we’re selling so many of these plots right now is that people want to be closer to nature and have space, security and a safe base to escape to with their families. That’s been the big shift during these lockdowns.
