NatWest has provided £250 million of funding to Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing (MTVH) to support the delivery of new homes and community initiatives.

The investment will enable MTVH, a provider of affordable and social housing, to increase housing supply across tenures including social rent, affordable rent, shared ownership, and key worker housing.

The funding package, comprising a 10-year term loan and a three-year revolving credit facility, completed in March 2026.

It has been used to refinance existing debt while providing additional capital to deliver new homes and support the organisation’s long-term business plan.

MTVH aims to deliver 6,000 new homes as part of its MTVH 2030 strategy and currently has around 4,000 homes on site across its development programme.

This includes schemes in London and beyond, such as Leeside Road in Enfield, 55 West in West Ealing, TwelveTrees Park in West Ham, and a regeneration of the Clapham Park estate.

In February, NatWest announced £10bn of funding for the UK social housing sector by the end of 2028.

NatWest also launched a new £250 million Section 106 Loan Fund last month, supporting housing associations to acquire affordable homes from housebuilders and helping unlock stalled housing delivery in England.

MTVH chief financial officer Duncan Brown says: “Following a record year for development at MTVH, alongside increased investment in our existing homes, this partnership with NatWest strengthens our ability to deliver the affordable homes the country needs while continuing to invest in our existing homes.”

NatWest relationship director John Horton adds: “Social housing and infrastructure more generally is vital to our customers, communities and businesses alike. Access to good quality, affordable housing means local people have a secure, safe space they can call home, while local businesses benefit by having a community they can look to when they’re recruiting.”

“MTVH has a strong track record of delivering for its residents and communities. We’re proud to partner with them in their mission to increase the supply of high-quality affordable housing, while delivering growth to local areas.”
