New £8m Bradford residential scheme to boost first time buyers

Aspiring homeowners in Bradford are set to have more opportunities to get on the property ladder as housing and regeneration specialist, Keepmoat, has been granted planning permission to deliver 58 new homes.

Aimed specifically at first time buyers, Keepmoat will deliver a range of two and three bedroom homes on land off Chartwell Drive, which will all be available to purchase with a 5% deposit under the Government backed Help to Buy scheme.

Prior to submitting a planning application, Keepmoat hosted a consultation event with members of the local community to gauge feedback and encourage input on the £8m scheme, which has been named Millers Croft.

Steve Armitage, regional sales manager for Keepmoat, said: “Last year we completed a new housing development in Shipley, in which we swiftly the sold the 136 homes which were available and were overwhelmed by the demand – particularly from those who were trying to get on the property ladder.

“We are delighted Bradford Council has supported our vision and we look forward to working with the local community to help regenerate and give back more than just the 58 homes we plan to build.”

In addition, a sales centre and show home are due to open in the summer.
