Commenting on their success, chairman of Pigeon James Buxton said: “We are delighted with the response from our investors, which has enabled us to raise a substantial sum in a short period.

“We are currently in negotiation with a number of landowners on potential housing sites, and will sign promotion agreements once terms have been agreed.”

Over the past nine months, the firm have raised more than £9 million in Equity funds for land promotion, and the firm is currently in the process of promoting land for more than 8,000 homes.
