Housing 21 buys two Hyde schemes
Retirement housing specialist Housing 21 has bought two extra care schemes in London and the south east from Hyde Housing as it seeks to expand its portfolio.
Limetree House in Peckham, south-east London, comprises 54 apartments available for rent and Bellerophon House in Rochester, Kent, has 41 apartments for rent.
The schemes will now operate as part of Housing 21’s extra care living offer, providing independent living to residents with access to on-site care and support.

Housing staff previously employed by Hyde Housing at Limetree House will remain in their positions with their employer, although the housing manager from Bellerophon House has moved to another post with Hyde.
On-site care providers, London Care and Everycare, remain in place at the schemes.
The news follows Housing 21’s acquisition of a scheme in Bury St Edmunds from Orwell Housing earlier this year and a scheme in Nottingham from Midland Heart in 2018, as it seeks to strengthen its position in the retirement sector.
Kris Peach, director of extra care at Housing 21, said: “Over the next few years Housing 21 will continue to expand its offering in retirement housing and extra care and this will be done through the provision of new developments and also by acquiring existing schemes from other providers.
“Bellerophon and Limetree House represent two of the most recent acquisitions and by using our vast experience in the sector we can ensure we take these schemes forward and provide the best possible services for our residents.”
