About Merlion
Combining our industry expertise with innovative forms of funding we have been able to put more people within reach of buying their own home. Our traditional shared equity scheme has already proved successful for thousands of people and as a result we have seen our reputation grow rapidly over the last decade, among both house builders and Local Authorities. We believe our new Enhanced Shared Equity Partnership scheme will continue this proud tradition and assist even more people to buy their own home.
Much of our successful track record is due to the strong relationships we have developed with our partners throughout the sector and as we look to the future, Merlion Homes is well set to tackle the challenges that face the sector. With the infrastructure in place, we believe our ever-growing presence will help us continue to deliver outstanding results.
We now plan to take on an even more important role in the field of affordable housing, working with more organisations who we believe will benefit from our individual approach.
