First homes ready for customers at Southampton Road development, Fareham

The first homes at VIVID’s Southampton Road development in Titchfield are now complete, marking a milestone for the project and a significant step forward in delivering much-needed affordable housing in Fareham.

The development, delivered in partnership with developer Hampshire Homes, will provide 95 new homes, all as affordable housing following recent planning approval. Of these, 71 will be for social rent and 24 for shared ownership, helping to meet local housing needs and support families on Fareham Borough Council’s housing register.

Customers have already started moving in, with full completion anticipated by early 2026. Infrastructure enhancements—including new pedestrian and cycle routes, as well as a toucan crossing on the A27—have been implemented to support safe and convenient access.

Tristan Samuels, Group Development and New Business Director at VIVID, said: "It's fantastic to see the first handovers at this site. Delivering so many homes at social rent is a real achievement, and we're excited to welcome our new customers and complete the development over the coming months. I’d like to thank Fareham Borough Council for their collaborative approach and support in helping us reach this milestone.”

Tom Moody, Managing Director at Hampshire Homes Limited, added: "The site, delivered in partnership with VIVID, will provide much-needed affordable housing for the area. Something we can all look back on and celebrate as a great success."

Councillor Fred Birkett, Executive Member for Housing, said: “I have been following this project with interest as it is going to have a real impact on people currently on Fareham Borough Council’s housing register. These are high quality, affordable homes and will make a real difference to the quality of life for the families moving in.”

This marks the beginning of a new community in Fareham, where customers will move into high-quality, affordable homes. It reflects the strong partnership between VIVID, Fareham Borough Council, and Hampshire Homes in creating well-designed places to live.
