Avant Homes West Yorkshire is constructing 25 new homes for Vico Homes at Altofts Acres in Wakefield after agreeing a £5m deal with the housing provider.
The partnership demonstrates Avant Homes’ ongoing delivery of its multi-tenure strategy and the deal with Vico Homes is a package of S106 and Homes England grant-funded affordable homes.
Avant Homes’ multi-tenure strategy seeks to maximise housing supply though the provision of quality new homes for private sale, the private rental sector (PRS) and additional affordable housing.
The housing mix being delivered comprises a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes and two-bedroom detached bungalows.
The first homes are anticipated to be handed over to Vico Homes in early 2026, with all the homes expected to be completed by autumn 2027.
The deal is the latest in the partnership between Avant Homes and Vico Homes. The housebuilder is currently constructing homes for the social housing provider in Edenthorpe, near Doncaster, as well in Birdwell and Dodworth, both near Barnsley.

“We’re committed to creating long-term partnerships with social housing providers and look forward to continuing our relationship with Vico Homes to deliver further affordable homes.
Avant Homes has secured a near term pipeline of more than 1,000 affordable homes to be delivered across 17 developments. This is in addition to more than 300 Section 106 affordable homes which are currently under construction.
The housebuilder’s new homes typically have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B or above, which is considered excellent for energy efficiency.
