Mulalley, working with Islington Council, have created 13 new homes for Islington residents to rent and buy on the Brunswick Estate, EC1. Six new council homes for social rent, four shared ownership and three for market sale were built on land where boarded up old garages and an old oil tank once stood, on a neglected part of the estate. Old bedsits were also transformed into new wheelchair accessible homes.

The new one, two and three bedroomed homes are all built to a high standard are well insulated and have private outdoor space. Work was also carried out to improve the estate including new lighting, new paving, new trees and planting, new secure cycle stores and a refurbished TMO office.

Local residents joined councillors to celebrate the completion of the new homes at a community event on 2nd August which was sponsored by Mulalley.

Councillor Diarmaid Ward, Islington Council’s executive member for housing and development said: “I’d like to say a big thanks to all the residents who put up with the inconvenience and disruption during this major project. It’s great to see the end result – good new council homes and a better looking estate.”

Mulalley Operations Director John Moore said: “We were proud to assist on this exciting project which will breathe new life into the Brunswick Estate. These new homes demonstrate the innovative ways we are helping to create much needed new homes in partnership with Islington Council.”
