Notting Hill Genesis
Councils are discussing tenant displacement from properties sold by Notting Hill Genesis and changes to its role in regeneration projects.
Tenants on Southwark's St James' Estate are facing displacement after 182 households' homes, previously managed by Notting Hill Genesis, were sold to investors. The St James' Tenants Association raised this at a Southwark Council Assembly meeting in September 2026, stating the properties are now being re-let to Lambeth Council as temporary accommodation, with intentions to convert them into Houses of Multiple Occupation.
In March 2026, Southwark Council reassumed control over future phases of the Aylesbury Estate regeneration, varying its Development Partnership Agreement with Notting Hill Genesis. Councillor Helen Dennis, Cabinet Member for New Homes and Sustainable Development, explained this shift, though NHG will complete three existing phases. Ealing Council's Cabinet is scheduled to discuss this topic in October 2026.
Notting Hill Genesis is a housing association formed in April 2018 from the merger of Notting Hill Housing and Genesis Housing Association. It provides affordable homes for lower-income households and acts as a framework for procuring contractors for housing developments.
