NEW houses under construction near to Warrington town centre could be completed later this year.

More than 500 homes are currently being built off Slutchers Lane near to the new Centre Park Link Road as part of the Rivers Edge development, which borders the Mersey.

Work on-site started late last year, and developers Countryside and Sigma Capital Group Ltd say that the first units as part of the £23.7million scheme are on course to be handed over ‘towards the end of 2022’.

The two companies have also partnered up to create new housing estates in Manchester and Blackburn.

Sigma’s regional managing director Jason Berry said: “We’ve been working with Countryside for over 15 years delivering thousands of private rental homes across the UK, and we’re delighted to see our partnership explore new areas for both parties.

“The three new schemes have been carefully selected in areas which we feel have an undersupply of high quality, professionally managed, rental homes.

“We have experienced huge demand for our many hundreds of simple life homes within the north west region, and we are looking forward to serving more local families looking to rent across these three developments.

“Our homes are pet friendly and all come with plenty of space, gardens and fitted appliances.

“With a heritage in regeneration, we have an ongoing commitment to support the wider community and to create local connections in support our developments’ surroundings.

“All schemes are within easy reach of local amenities, including shopping centres, sport centres and supermarkets.

“All sites have access to highly rated schools and excellent transport links providing access to neighbouring towns and cities.”

Countryside’s partnerships north chief executive Jo Jamieson added: “These three mixed-tenure sites will offer individuals and families across the north west a range of routes to live in a new, high-quality home.

“The market for new homes in this region is strong, so we’re pleased to be continuing our longstanding partnership with Sigma to create a wide variety of affordable and private rental properties as well as homes for sale on the open market.”
