New affordable homes
Shelley is happy to show people around her new
home. When she was first told that she had to
move as part of a Liverpool regeneration
scheme, her heart sank.
A few months later, she and her family moved
into a brand new, modern development nearby,
and she now thinks it’s everything she could
have wished for.
“Naturally, when I was told my old home was
going to be demolished and I had to move,
I was a bit worried. But I have settled in great.
It’s so modern and well finished off. I am really
pleased with my new place.”
As well as the attractive, modern kitchen,
bathroom and fittings, the design of Shelley’s
house is eco-friendly and insulated to a high
standard, helping to keep fuel bills low. Built by
WAVE, a Riverside commercial venture, the
house has an insulated, timber-panel system.
Not only does the manufacture and construction
of a WAVE property use approximately 30% less
timber than a traditional home, it also reduces
waste by 50%.
“I love this house,” says Shelley. “I really
wouldn’t want to go back to the old place.”
As well as properties for affordable rent, we also
offer a full range of shared ownership options,
allowing buyers to purchase a percentage of
their property and rent the remainder.
Our innovative Own Place project has
released 60 improved terraced homes to
people struggling to get on the housing ladder
in Merseyside.
