NORTHWEST housing group Torus is set to build more new affordable homes in Warrington.
The group, a partnership between Golden Gates Housing Trust and Helena Partnerships, is actively making good its promise to deliver new homes in the region.
Torus group chief executive, Rob Young said: “The UK is experiencing a massive shortage of affordable homes. We are committed to developing homes in the right places and at the right price, for rent or sale at genuinely affordable prices.”
Current projects include a £10 million development of over 100 homes on a former brownfield site near Marsden Avenue, Latchford. The derelict land, once redeveloped will house 64 two and three bedroom homes for affordable rent and a further 40 two and three bedroom homes for sale through shared ownership. Phase one is due for release in July 2016.
The transformation of Harrison Square, Dallam starts in April this year. The construction of 24 bungalows and two bedroom homes for affordable rent along with two retail units, is part of the part of the wider ‘Delivering Wellbeing in Bewsey and Dallam’ initiative. The development will replace a number of disused shops. Once completed the homes will be available for affordable rent through GGHT.
These two major projects come hot on the heels of completed developments in Orford and Howley.
Priced for first time buyers, growing families or people looking to downsize, a collection of newly released three bedroom homes are available at Howley Meadows, Howley Quay. Offered for sale using Government backed Shared Ownership, also know n as part buy, part rent, prices for a 50% share of a three bed riverside property start at £77,000.
Orford saw the development of 18 two and three bedroom homes on Howson Road. The Edenhall Grove development was available for affordable rent and was built to appeal to small families, growing families and those keen to downsize. Due to its success it was fully allocated within weeks of completion.
