About us
A not-for-profit organisation and a 5-star housebuilder, we are committed to building quality, affordable homes and thriving communities.
We are a 5-star housebuilder, committed to building quality, affordable homes and sustainable communities.
We are one of the leading builders of new affordable homes for rent and shared ownership in the UK. We seek to provide sector leading homes that delight our customers, through a genuinely tenure blind approach to design, layout, specification and customer experience, ensuring that we create homes and communities that our customers love with all the support they need throughout the process.
Our developments range from small schemes in rural villages, through to large urban regeneration projects across the Midlands, East and the South East.
We build a variety of homes from one bedroom apartments through to larger family homes. Our strategic partnership with Homes England has helped support our 2030 Strategy commitment to deliver 5,700 new homes by 2030.
Our developments include a mix of tenures, including market sale, shared ownership and social rent homes to ensure we create balanced and sustainable communities that will flourish.
Reinvesting into our communities
We are socially driven, commercially minded, and reinvest our profits into our communities, services which support our tenants, and into the creation of better places to live. Our impact reaches far beyond the homes we build and sell so, when customers buy a market sale or shared ownership home from us, they are directly influencing the lives of thousands of individuals in the UK.
Outstanding customer service
We recognise that buying or moving into a new home can be very daunting. That is why our highly trained and approachable team of Sales Consultants are on hand to explain the process and support our customers every step of the way. And, once you’ve moved in to your new Orbit home, our dedicated Customer Care team are on hand to should you need them.
We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious 5-star Housebuilder accolade by the Home Builders Federation for the second year running, as well as the Gold Customer Satisfaction Award from In-house Research for nine consecutive years. These independent awards are based on feedback from customers after they have moved into their new build homes and, in 2025, over 95% of our customers would recommend us to a friend.
Sector leading designs and specifications
We are proud of our sector leading, tenure blind house designs and specification. All our homes are built to Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Safer by Design Gold Standard, ensuring that our homes are amongst the safest on the market. Whether customers purchase from us by market sale, shared ownership, or move into a social rent home, they receive the same commitment to sector leading design, specification, and safety, coupled with outstanding customer service.
