South
Connected across the South.
Delivering with confidence.
In the South of England, Wates Residential brings long term presence and delivery confidence to one of the UK’s most strategically important housing regions.
The Wates family and Group head office are based in the region, embedding a strong, long‑term commitment that shapes how we work and how we partner.
We work closely with councils and public sector partners across the South to deliver homes in a wide range of settings – from city centre and estate regeneration projects to large scale town centre extensions.
Collaborative, connected partners
We are well connected across the region, with established relationships spanning local authorities, private rental sector providers, influential business networks, Homes England and national government. These connections help align local ambition with national priorities and funding frameworks, adding certainty from the outset.
As a residential developer contractor, we bring joined up thinking and long‑term commitment to schemes of all scales.
Our integrated development and construction capability provides early clarity on cost, programme and quality, while our regionally embedded teams give partners direct access to experts who understand, and are based, in the local landscape.
Your local experts
Our Southern regional team is based in our Basingstoke office, supported by our head office in Surrey, providing a strong local presence across the South of England and the Home Counties.
With expertise spanning development, construction, commercial management, partnerships and sales, our team works closely with councils and partners to support projects from early planning through to delivery.
This regional base ensures continuity, accessibility and a clear understanding of local priorities, enabling us to respond effectively to the needs of communities and stakeholders across the South.
