Get Living and Watkin Jones have agreed a £71 million forward funding deal to deliver over 200 new rental homes at Randalls Way in Leatherhead.

The development will be the first operational BTR scheme in Leatherhead, which offers future residents quality and well-managed rental homes with the green space of the River Mole Nature Reserve and Leatherhead Park on the doorstep.

On completion it will offer residents one, two and three-bed apartments, including 36 discount market rent homes alongside 3,000 sq ft of resident amenity space and extensive landscaped gardens. The Home Quality Mark 'Very Good' development is well positioned for sustainable transport, located seconds from Leatherhead railway station, which offers access to Central London in less than an hour and the open spaces of Box Hill in five minutes.
