COVID-19 update - sales and marketing suites to reopen
Inland Homes ("Inland Homes" "the Group" or "the Company"), a
leading brownfield developer, housebuilder and partnership housing
company with a focus on the south and south east of England,
announces the reopening of its sales and marketing suites from 22
May to support its ongoing online and remote sales and marketing
activity.
The decision follows the Government's recently updated guidance
which removed the restriction on non-essential home moves and
supported the return of activities related to the sale and purchase
of homes.
The Group's number one priority remains the health and wellbeing
of employees and customers. It is therefore implementing measures
to ensure full compliance with the Government's Covid-19 Secure
guidance. The Group has also become a signatory to the Home
Builders Federation (HBF) 'Charter for Safe Working Practice'. The
Charter is a public facing commitment which supports the protocols
individual builders have in place to protect the health and safety
of the home building workforce, visitors to site and the local
community.
In order to ensure social distancing, visits will be by
appointment only and limited to two people from the same household.
Perspex screens will be installed on desks where possible and hand
sanitiser, face masks and gloves made available to both staff and
visitors as additional precautions. Show home surfaces such as door
handles, worktops and white goods will be sanitised before and
after each viewing.
The Group is using its website and social media channels to
communicate to customers the changes being implemented.
Inland Homes builds homes in areas of high demand and structural
under supply in the south and south east of England. To recognise
the efforts of 'key workers' in this pandemic, the Company is
offering a 'key worker' discount on home purchases. Inland is also
pleased to be launching a number of offers on its home sales for
all other customers.
Following reiteration of the Government's support for
construction activity and in line with prevailing safety guidance,
construction has continued on sites across the Group's activities
where it makes commercial sense in the build progress to do so.
This includes two cash-generative partnership housing sites under
construction for Registered Providers. Three sites under
construction remain closed and a decision about when and on what
basis to reopen these sites will be made in the coming weeks.
As previously reported, the Group continues to receive
approaches from small and medium sized housebuilders for the
purchase of sites with planning consent and is likewise encouraged
by the return to work of many of the major housebuilders. It also
continues to be approached by housing associations and build to
rent funds for bulk purchases of apartments under construction.
Chief Executive Stephen Wicks commented:
"The revised working practices and safety protocols we're
putting in place meet the Government's COVID-19 Secure principles
and should reassure both customers and staff that their safety is
our number one priority.
"Our sites are located in areas of high demand and acute housing
shortages. We are therefore confident that we will see sustained
demand for the high-quality houses and apartments we build.
"With these measures in place, we're delighted to be reopening
and look forward to welcoming customers back again very soon."

Notes to Editors:
Incorporated in the UK in 2005, Inland Homes plc is an AIM
listed specialist housebuilder and brownfield developer, dedicated
to achieving excellence in sustainability and design.
Inland Homes acquires brownfield land in the South and
South-East of England principally for residentially led development
schemes. The business then enhances the land value by obtaining
planning permission, before building open market and affordable
homes or selling surplus consented land to other developers to
generate cash.
The Company is committed to extensive public and community
consultation in order to ensure that, where possible, local
community needs and objectives are met.
Inland's aim is to create sustainable communities and homes
which set a benchmark for all future developments in the South and
South East of England. The Company is always looking for brownfield
sites without planning permission for future development.
