HSPG: A social impact real estate company
Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.
There is a critical lack of affordable housing across the UK, affecting the most vulnerable people in our community.
We build long-term partnerships with Local Authorities to acquire and manage demand-driven social and affordable housing across
various tenures, as per the image below.
Across HSPG’s Living Sector platforms, we are actively acquiring 2,500 high-quality homes from national housebuilders and
developers by the end of 2025. These properties are managed by our experienced team, grouped into portfolios, and funded by our
institutional investment partners.
HSPG aims to positively impacts our residents’ lives, while providing long-term, sustainable returns for our investment partners.
Core mission
As Junior Legal Counsel, your core mission is to support the successful execution of HSPG’s real estate transactions, ensuring
legal processes progress efficiently and commercially.
You will be an integral member of the legal team, managing and progressing a wide range of transactional and operational legal
matters across the business, including loan drawdowns, acquisitions, disposals, leasing and legal support. You will enable
commercial decision-making by providing practical legal guidance.
This is a hands-on and execution-focused role. You will take ownership of the detail and coordination required to keep matters
moving – ensuring nothing is dropped or left unresolved.
You will work closely with internal teams, external lawyers and stakeholders and will proactively manage relationships and hold
all parties to account to achieve seamless transaction execution aligned with HSPG’s strategic objectives.
You will support with legal research, drafting and process improvement across the legal function, helping the business scale
efficiently with the implementation of innovative and tech-enabled processes and strategies.
