One Vision Housing (OVH), part of the Sovini Housing Group, is excited to reveal that they are now offering homes for affordable rent in Cheshire; at three new developments in Northwich, Middlewich and Nantwich.
The award-winning housing association already has nearly 13,000 properties across Merseyside; in Liverpool, Wirral and Sefton. And for the first time they are now a landlord in Cheshire.
OVH has purchased 35 properties in Cheshire, from Bellway and Barratt Homes, as part of a section 106 agreements. They comprise:
Longwood Park in Northwich – 10 x two-bedroom homes and 8 x three-bedroom homes
Oak Meadow in Middlewich - 17 x three-bedroom homes
Malbank Waters in Nantwich - 9 x one-bedroom apartments, 4 x two-bedroom and 10 x three-bedroom homes.
The affordable rent properties will be available to local people through the local choice-based letting schemes - Cheshire HomeChoice or Trust HomeChoice - from as little as £109 per week, with no deposit required.
OVH has also purchased an additional 38 three-bedroom homes at two of the locations, in Northwich and Middlewich; which will be new Shared Ownership Scheme; which gives people more affordable opportunities to get onto the property ladder.
Simon McGrory, Middlewich First Councillor for Cheshire East, said: "It's great to see a new social housing group provide much wanted affordable homes for local people.
“Although some residents objected to new development in general, I would hope that they agree; we must provide homes which families can afford to rent or buy. I look forward to welcoming One Vision Housing and the new home owners."
Just last year OVH secured a £40 million refinance deal to support their impressive development plan – delivering over 600 homes across Merseyside, Cheshire and West Lancashire between 2015 and 2018.
OVH Chief Executive, Roy Williams, said: “Having been a predominant landlord in Merseyside for nearly 10 years, we're excited to now be providing affordable homes which people in Cheshire can access, through their local choice-based letting schemes.
“We hope that the delivery of these quality homes will make a significant impact on the local housing shortages and on the regeneration of the North West."
