The construction of a large number of properties in the Beattie Avenue area of Hereford has been completed, as part of a £9 million development.
Connexus has been working in partnership with developers Harper Group on the £9 million redevelopments of Beattie Avenue in Hereford.
The redevelopment consisted of two phases. The 41 prefabricated bungalows that existed for over 60 years in the area were replaced, and a further 30 new homes built consisting of social housing and shared ownership properties, allowing first-time buyers to get onto the property market in the area.
Phase two of the redevelopment consisted of an additional 44 homes. Many of the existing customers have moved back onto the road and into their brand new homes, six of which have been specially built with adaptations to accommodate their owner’s needs.
Amanda Knowles, Head of Development, Connexus said:
“We’re delighted that phase one is now complete and that our Beattie Avenue residents can move into their new homes.
“We have also been able to provide additional homes for households who were on Herefordshire Council’s Accessible Homes Register, who have been waiting for suitable wheelchair accessible homes.”
Emma, Connexus Shared Ownership Customer said:
“As a young couple, my husband and I were becoming so disheartened by the ever-increasing local house prices. We always wanted to own our home and value the security that comes with that. We could afford the mortgage deposit on 25% of our Shared Ownership property and have now stair cased up to owning a higher percentage. Shared Ownership has enabled us to take steps towards the dream of fully owning our family home.”
