New homes coming to town

18 February 2010

We will be providing sixty affordable homes in the Trench area of Telford over the next year.

The Wrekin Housing Trust, Shropshire's largest social landlord, will be taking the homes from the developer Bloor Homes in stages throughout 2010 and 2011 and making them available for affordable rent or shared ownership.

In the current financial market, where people are struggling to afford high rents or to get onto the property ladder, these new homes will be the perfect solution for Telford residents looking for a modern affordable home.

The site will consist of three bedroom homes, with a mixture of terraced, detached and semi detached properties, as well as one detached four-bedroom house.

The majority of the homes will be let as they become available through the Trust's choice based lettings system Choose Your Home. More information can be found at www.chooseyourhome.org.uk or by calling the local team on 01952 217309.

The remainder of the houses will be advertised through Inreach, a scheme where customers can rent a property with the option to buy a share when they are in a financial situation to do so. Details can be found at www.inreach-homes.co.uk or 01743 271885.

The homes will also meet the Code for sustainable homes level 3, which ensures that they are built to a highly energy efficient standard, including features such as water butts, solar panels and double glazing.
