Noah Homes has its origins in our desire to deliver more affordable housing. We focus on the successful shared ownership model, developing high quality new homes with an emphasis on rural locations. 

Our first houses were built in the historic market town of Much Wenlock, closely followed by a development in Uffington, also in Shropshire. These projects demonstrate the value of shared ownership model in increasing the availability of affordable housing in rural areas. We have since worked closely with Shropshire Council on its Local Plan, offering advice as to how planning policies can encourage the delivery of more rural affordable housing across the county.

There are two keystones that make Noah Homes’ approach to affordable housing distinctive: 

• Firstly, with Noah, home owners can acquire additional equity each year, through paying their rent and complying with all their obligations. This is our ‘Extra Rung’ Scheme, which aims to assist home owners to move to full ownership.
• Secondly, all Noah homes to continue as shared ownership affordable homes for at least 125 years. This policy ensures a lasting benefit to the local area and community.
