HSPG: A social impact real estate company
Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.
There is a critical lack of affordable housing across the UK, affecting the most vulnerable people in our community.
We build long-term partnerships with Local Authorities to acquire and manage demand-driven social and affordable housing across various tenures, as per the image below.
Across HSPG’s Living Sector platforms, we are actively acquiring 2,500 high-quality homes from national housebuilders and developers by the end of 2025. These properties are managed by our experienced team, grouped into portfolios, and funded by our institutional investment partners.
HSPG aims to positively impacts our residents’ lives, while providing long-term, sustainable returns for our investment partners.

Core mission:
As an Acquisitions Analyst, your mission is to support your team to acquire £100m worth of high-quality housing for PPHA. You will ensure every home you bid on is of a quality that you’d be happy to move your own family (or yourself) into, and that it yields the right returns for PPHA.
Your focus will be to appraise and source new deal opportunities nationwide through a network of housebuilders, developers and agents with whom you will build great, long-lasting relationships. You will personally assist the Head of Acquisitions, Senior Acquisitions Manager and Acquisitions Associate on deals from site identification through to exchange and completion, which means you will be exposed to the full deal cycle.
You will prepare bid packs ready for presentation to our Investment Committee and will be confident presenting these deals to the IC. We have ambitious growth plans, and you will quickly become an essential team player within PPHA team, who originates and manages deals regionally or nationally, ensuring every deal we bid on contributes to our wider mission: building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.
You should treat every acquisition and scheme as if it were your own business, aiming to achieve the best metrics, quality and overall service for both PPHA/HSPG and our customers.
Obsess: These points get you out of bed in the morning and keep you up at night! If you’re not obsessed with these, the role isn’t for you.
Excel: You are excellent at these areas: an expert.
