A Proven Track Record of Delivery
Founded in 1999, Hill has grown into one of the UK’s top 15 housebuilders — with a portfolio spanning more than 150 active developments across London, Cambridge, Oxford, and the South East. Their growth has been steady, sustainable, and focused on locations where demand is underpinned by strong fundamentals: connectivity, education, green space, and regeneration.
In 2023 alone, Hill delivered over 7,000 homes, ranging from first-time buyer apartments to large-scale regeneration schemes in partnership with local authorities and housing associations. Unlike volume-led builders, Hill maintains a strong focus on build quality, community cohesion, and long-term asset performance — something that continues to attract both end-users and investors.

Focus on Design, Comfort and Efficiency
Hill’s homes are thoughtfully designed with real-world residents in mind — not just as units to be sold. Each development benefits from contemporary architecture, generous layouts, and specifications that align with how people actually live today.
From underfloor heating and private outdoor space to smart storage solutions and landscaped communal areas, the detail in a Hill home is tangible. Many of their recent developments are equipped with energy-efficient features, contributing to lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact — an important factor for both ESG-focused investors and long-term homeowners.
They also build in consideration of future legislation on energy standards, meaning you’re buying into a home that’s already ahead of compliance curves.

Long-Term Vision Rooted in Sustainability
Sustainability is central to Hill’s business strategy — not just as a compliance requirement, but as a design and delivery philosophy. The company has published clear ESG commitments, with a focus on low-carbon construction methods, biodiversity gain, and the creation of resilient, future-proof neighbourhoods.
Hill is a founding partner of the Future Homes Hub and continues to push forward with best-in-class approaches to material selection, energy use and construction impact.
Their “Fabric First” approach ensures homes are built with efficient insulation and heating systems from the ground up, helping residents to save on running costs — and enabling investors to future-proof their rental portfolios.

Developments in Prime, High-Growth Locations
One of the clearest differentiators for Hill is their strategic land acquisition. They develop in high-demand, under-supplied areas that offer residents excellent connectivity — and investors long-term capital growth and rental demand.
These include:
- Zone 2 to Zone 4 areas across Greater London, particularly those undergoing regeneration
- Commuter towns and university cities like Cambridge, Oxford and Reading
- Transport-led regeneration zones with major infrastructure upgrades, such as Woolwich, Brentford, and Hounslow
Hill chooses sites that are within walking distance of key amenities: stations, schools, green space, supermarkets and leisure hubs — all of which contribute to capital appreciation and rental resilience.

Trusted by Buyers and Investors Alike
Hill has earned the confidence of first-time buyers, families, and international investors, thanks to their consistent delivery, quality standards, and strong post-sale support. Their developments often feature concierge services, communal lounges, landscaped gardens and co-working spaces, making them attractive to a wide tenant base — from corporate lets to relocating professionals and students.
Rental yields in select Hill developments — such as Lampton Parkside and Kew Bridge Rise — are forecast at 5%–5.7%, reflecting high local demand and undersupply in quality rental stock. Many of these locations also benefit from low council tax rates, fast travel times to central London, and access to top universities — all of which enhance rental demand and value growth potential.
