Our Foundations / History
Established in 2022, Tilia Homes builds on its heritage as part of Kier Living and is now owned by Terra Firma, a leading European investment firm, with the Hands Family Office as the cornerstone investor.
In 2024, Terra Firma united Tilia Homes with another trusted UK housebuilder, Hopkins Homes, under the umbrella of a new group company, untypical. untypical aims to make a positive difference to the UK housebuilding market through an innovative approach and a commitment to excellence. Central to untypical’s mission is its focus on creating sustainable, inclusive communities, delivering homes across the UK that people want to live in and are good for the planet.
Our Values
The Tilia Homes Way
At Tilia Homes, what we stand for shapes how we do things every day – from working together as a team to building homes our customers are excited to move into. We’re all about creating easy-to-live-in, well-designed spaces that make everyday life feel that bit simpler, especially for those buying their first home.
Our values keep us grounded. They help us look after each other, do right by the communities we’re part of, and focus on what really matters – homes that feel good to live in from day one. By sticking to what we believe in, we build trust, take pride in what we do, and create places people are proud to call home.

Passion for Building
We approach each project with unwavering enthusiasm. We operate with integrity and transparency both personally and professionally.

Lasting Community

Sustainability
We care deeply about the impact of our work and the legacy we leave. We understand our environmental footprint and commit fully to ESG.
