Annington Homes is the UK's largest private housing company . It was founded in 1996 by the Japanese Nomura Bank in order to acquire around 40,000 houses and apartments of the armed forces in the course of privatizations from the British Ministry of Defense . As long as these were still required as service accommodation, they were rented back to the Ministry of Defense ( sale-lease-back ). Residential properties that became vacant were sold to private interested parties. In 2013 Annington Homes was sold to the London-based private equity company Terra Firma Capital Partners .
After this "pattern" Nomura Bank and Terra Firma Capital Partners increased in 2001 in the German real estate market, where 11 railway housing companies of the Federal Railroad Fund with a total of 65,000 homes were purchased. If required, the apartments were retained as “company social facilities”. The Deutsche Annington Immobilien Group emerged from this and from further acquisitions .
In 2015 Annington rented 39,433 residential units.
