Work has begun building 33 affordable homes in Trafford as part of a wider housing development of nearly 150 new homes.
Irwell Valley Homes have broken ground at the Trafford Gardens development in Stretford, where they are building 29 one and two-bedroomed apartments and 4 two-bedroomed town houses available on a Rent to Buy basis.
The affordable homes help people onto the property ladder by offering rent at 80% of the market rate, allowing them to save the remaining 20% towards a deposit.
The new homes are located near to Old Trafford Cricket Ground, with easy access into Manchester city centre and features including Juliet balconies, fitted kitchens and outside communal spaces.
The scheme is part of a wider development with Linear Living who are building 116 one and two-bedroomed apartments in a separate block for private sale and rent with contractor Linear Design and Construct.
The rent-to-buy homes are due for completion in spring 2025.
