New-Build Development
End-to-end delivery of new residential schemes — from site identification and planning through to construction, handover, and ongoing management. We work across London and the South East, delivering affordable, mixed-tenure, and supported housing for our institutional partners.
- Site identification and acquisition
- Planning application and consent
- Contractor procurement and management
- Handover and lettings support
S106 Delivery
We work directly with Local Authorities to discharge S106 affordable housing obligations. Samson takes on the delivery risk, manages the build programme, and provides a fully let affordable housing scheme — removing the burden from the LA and its planning obligations.
- S106 obligation discharge
- Affordable housing delivery to planning conditions
- Liaison with planning authority throughout
- Tenure mix and nomination agreement structuring
Stock Acquisition & Refurbishment
We acquire existing residential stock — including vacant, distressed, or under-managed properties — and refurbish to a high standard for affordable or supported housing use. This route delivers homes faster than new-build and at lower cost per unit.
- Vacant and distressed property acquisition
- Full refurbishment to EPC and decent homes standard
- Conversion to affordable or supported housing use
- Long-term management post-refurbishment
Supported & Care Housing
Specialist housing delivery for care providers, charities, and commissioners working with complex needs groups — including mental health, learning disability, homelessness, domestic abuse, and prison-leavers. We design, fund, and manage the accommodation; our partners deliver the care.
- Supported living and extra care design
- CAS3 and approved premises delivery
- Domestic abuse refuge accommodation
- Long-term management and maintenance
JV & Profit-Share Partnerships
Our core partnership model. Samson sources the site, structures the finance, manages the development, and operates the completed scheme. Our partner — RP, LA, charity, or care provider — nominates tenants and shares in the net returns. No capital outlay required from the partner.
- Joint venture and profit-share structuring
- No capital requirement from the partner
- Nomination rights retained by the partner
- Returns shared on agreed terms
