500th home completed under Homes for Wandsworth programme

The new four-storey development at Putney Vale offers 14 new 1-, 2- and 3- bedroom homes at council rent, prioritised for those with roots in the community through a dedicated Local Lettings Plan. The scheme also includes a range of environmental and community enhancements, including a secure bicycle storage facility, additional parking spaces, a new children’s play area and landscaping improvements to uplift the surrounding area.

Aydin Dikerdem, Cabinet Member for Housing, said:

“The 500th home completed as part of the Homes for Wandsworth programme is an incredible milestone. This brings us closer to our goal of completing 1,000 homes and continuing to help local families make moves that are improving their happiness and wellbeing. I look forward to seeing the first residents move in and thrive with their families for years to come.”

Homes for Wandsworth is on track to build more than 1,000 new homes by 2029, with two new developments at Randall Close and Patmore Street adding another 163 homes for council rent.

Homes for Wandsworth is one of London’s most ambitious council homebuilding initiatives, designed to tackle housing shortages and support thriving, inclusive communities. Each new home represents a family moved off waiting lists and into secure, comfortable tenancies.

But the programme is about more than bricks and mortar. With every development, Wandsworth Council is investing in the future of its neighbourhoods – creating vibrant spaces, enhancing green areas, and building facilities that foster connection and wellbeing.

As the programme continues toward its 1,000-home goal, Wandsworth remains committed to ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to live well, stay local, and build a life in the borough they call home.
