Ogier supports affordable housing development at Le Menage

Residents have begun moving into the new partial ownership properties at Le Menage site in Guernsey, transactions which Ogier's specialist property team assisted with.

Building work at the £8m Le Menage site, formerly called Les Blanches, began in June 2020 and saw fields at the edge of St Martin’s village being turned into 26 new homes. Of these, 10 are partial ownership properties to provide more affordable options for first-time buyers.

Guernsey Housing Association chief executive Steve Williams said: "It has provided 10 more properties for partial ownership for those who can’t afford to buy in the private sector. We would like to do a lot more of that and we are working on that – this is a really good contribution."

Martyn Baudains, Ogier Property partner said: "Affordable housing is essential for the island to help first time buyers get on the property ladder. We're really pleased to have been able to assist purchasers of the GHA partial ownership properties and hope they will be very happy in their new homes."
