269 new homes to be built in Crewe

Hundreds of new homes are being built on the former site of the Bombardier Railway Works in Crewe, Cheshire. Sigma Capital Group plc on behalf of The PRS REIT plc and in partnership with Countryside, is developing 131 houses and apartments for rent while Countryside is also building 138 units for open market sale.

Simple Life is one of the leading providers in build-to-rent housing having already built over 3000 properties across the UK.

The new site has been named Coppenhall Place and will combine 107 three- and four-bedroom houses with 24 two-bedroom apartments for rent and 138 Countryside homes that will be for open market sale. With excellent facilities nearby, this new neighbourhood will be a place where families and professionals can thrive.

Alec Maullin, project manager at Simple Life, said: “We are happy to be in a position to invest in Crewe, which is seeing a great deal of regeneration at the moment. We’re thrilled to be able to deliver high quality rental homes for the growing local population, particularly on sites such as this, which have been derelict for a long time. Our homes are pet friendly and come with high specification fixtures and fittings, with a contemporary décor, allowing residents peace of mind that all the important little details are taken care of, whilst providing them a blank canvas to make their home their own.

“Crewe is famous for its friendly people and is steeped in history, and we will be working initiatives to give back to those people by investing in local schools and the wider community.”

Gordo Innes, managing director, partnerships Manchester and Cheshire East, Countryside said: “We are very proud of our partnerships model at Countryside, which not only facilitates a dynamic way of working but also fuels the long-term sustainability of the areas we’re helping to build.

“Through our close partnerships with housing associations, local authorities and organisations like Simple Life in the private rental sector, we’re able to provide high quality homes across a mix of tenures – which we know will meet the incredibly high standards of Crewe’s residents.”

Simple Life identifies areas which have an undersupply of high-quality rental homes and provide customers with the added benefit of an experienced landlord and professionally managed properties. Some of the many benefits include a maintenance service, flexible contract options and customers will not have to worry about their homes being sold from under them.

Our first homes will be handed over April 2021, meaning we can expect first move-ins by May. We expect the entire site to be finished by late 2021.
