One Vision Housing’s new development, the Conway Point housing scheme, will deliver 46 Rent to Buy apartments in Wirral
Located two minutes away from Birkenhead town centre, the Conway Point housing scheme will provide essential and affordable apartments to rent for local residents. One Vision Housing’s new development has been made possible by the £1.7 million funding from Homes England.
The Conway Point housing offers an affordable alternative
The Centre for Social Justice recently reported that over 40% of population in the North West felt that housing costs in their area were ‘too high’. 77% of those individuals were also in agreement that social housing was an essential resource for vulnerable people.
Conway Point is part of The Sovini Group’s development framework, which aims to tackle high housing costs by delivering high quality and affordable modern homes.
The Rent to Buy scheme will help customers by offering rent at around 20% less than the market price, taking a financial weight off their shoulders and allowing them to save for a deposit and buy the apartment through Shared Ownership or an outright purchase.
‘We are driven by our purpose to create opportunities and change lives’
Managing director of Housing at The Sovini Grou, Ian Mitchell, said:
“We are driven by our purpose to create opportunities and change lives, and look forward to seeing inclusive, thriving communities blossom here in Birkenhead, as we welcome customers into their new affordable, quality homes.”
Steve Parrington, Sovini Construction’s managing director added:
“We’re committed to developing high quality affordable homes and the Conway Point scheme is a testament to that ethos.
“We strive to make a positive difference in the communities we build in, and that is why we are proud to work in partnership with award-winning social housing provider One Vision Housing, who share the commitment of creating opportunities and changing lives.
“We look forward to seeing the development thrive within the local community for years to come”.
Looking after our environment is central to this project
Reducing the environmental impact and are striving to towards net zero carbon emissions is at the heart of The Slovini Group’s mission.
In line with The Future Buildings Standard (2021), Conway Point housing is being developed by Sovini Construction with a ‘fabric first’ approach on a brownfield site.
This method involves maximising performance of components and materials selected during construction and aiming to reduce energy consumption, such as thermal efficiency and running costs.
The 46 apartments will includee environmentally friendly features such as efficient toilets, taps, showers, and light fittings.
