New affordable housing consultancy launched
A new specialist affordable housing consultancy and managing agent has been launched which aims to bridge the gap between housebuilders, local authorities, housing associations, and property developers.
Launched by experienced property professional Ryan Blair, Highlight Housing’s mission is to support the delivery of more good-quality, safe, energy-efficient, affordable homes throughout England and Scotland.
After 15 years working across residential lettings and property management, including new build sales at Sotheby’s Realty, residential development consultancy at Savills and custom build at Custom Build Homes, Mr Blair spent the last four years serving as chief operating officer at Auxesia Homes, delivering over 400 new build affordable homes across the north of England in collaboration with volume and SME housebuilders
Managing director Ryan Blair told Scottish Construction Now: “I’m excited to announce the launch of Highlight Housing.
“We bring bright ideas and stand-out solutions that shine a light on affordability and illuminate the path to viability. Our approach to shared ownership, shared equity, social rent, and community-led housing projects emphasises collaboration and community benefit, setting us apart as not just a consultancy but a partner in impactful development.
“Bringing years of sector experience and a deep understanding of affordable housing complexities, Highlight helps clients navigate challenges and achieve real, scalable growth. Let’s work together to create vibrant communities that are accessible for all, transforming the housing landscape for future generations.”
