Social landlord to procure £1.8m legal services framework

A major housing association has launched the procurement of a legal services framework worth an estimated £1.8m.

Aster Group, which is headquartered in Devizes in Wiltshire, owns more than 30,000 homes and provides services to over 90,000 customers.

Its development programme is expected to see the social landlord deliver over 10,700 new homes across the country over the next seven years through land acquisition, brownfield regeneration, regeneration of its own estate, joint ventures, homes required through section 106 agreements, privately-funded initiatives and Community Land Trusts.

The legal services framework is expected to last for 36 months.
