Iceni Homes is a unique partnership that creates high-quality housing for people across the UK.

We are a unique collaborative partnership between two leading East Anglian housing associations:

  • Colne Housing in Colchester
  • Hundred Houses in Cambridge.

Iceni Homes also works very closely with a range of other housing stakeholders and is a development partner with Homes England.

We offer a truly comprehensive development management service through from inception to completion; delivering a range of products from Affordable Rent through to Shared Ownership and Market Sale, for our Shareholders and other customers.

Iceni Homes’ strength lies in its ability to deliver well-designed housing of all tenures for a range of customers, providing a bespoke, quality, cost-effective service.

Put simply, no other organisation works in this way: a professional and flexible approach is at the heart of our success in working with a wide variety of housing sector partners.

Underpinning our ability to complete housing projects on-time and on-budget, is our passion for knowledge-sharing and promoting great communication with our partners and customers.

For 14 years, Iceni Homes has provided excellent, modern, economically-sustainable housing to thousands of people, through our partners.

As we look ahead our focus is on further evolving our successful approach, and our ability to bring together private, public and non-profit organisations with a single common objective: the creation of affordable, high quality housing.

Iceni Homes are proud to support Emmaus UK.
