AFFORDABILITY BREWING WITH NEW SHARED OWNERSHIP HOMES IN SOUTHVILLE
Aspiring Bristol homeowners are set to benefit from a boost of affordable new homes this spring, with the forthcoming launch of Abri Homes Shared Ownership apartments at the historic old Ashton Gate Brewery siteon North Street in Southville.
Abri Homes is gearing up to launch its collection of 107 one, two and three-bedroom affordable apartments to market with prices starting from £89,250 for a 35% share. 98 homes will be available with shared ownership and 9 for social rent, supported by grant funding from Homes England.
The exciting new development has seen the complete transformation of the former brewery into a stylish rangeof contemporary and energy-efficient homes nestled in the heart of Southville, which has been named one of the best places to live in the South West.
As well as offering residential living, The Old Brewery will bring new commercial spaces to the area, with plans for local businesses to open their doors in early 2025, adding to the thriving independent retail offerings on North Street.
Stuart Hensby, Sales & Marketing Director at Abri, comments: “This spring we are excited to offer Bristol buyers the opportunity to secure one of the first homes at The Old Brewery. We hear too often that first timebuyers are struggling with mortgage rates and unmanageable deposits, and the booming Bristol market poses its own challenges for aspiring homeowners. At The Old Brewery buyers will be able to buy their first home with as little as a 5% deposit and make the most of shared ownership – which allows them to move away from the private rental market and take a smaller first step onto the property ladder.
“The Old Brewery will offer residents the best in modern living. It is a great example of reusing the best of the old, as well as creating something entirely new, and showcases the fantastic potential of mixed-use spaces. Highly energy efficient, these new homes will also allow residents to enjoy lower utility bills.”
Shared Ownership is a scheme designed to help aspiring homeowners by enabling them to purchase between a 10% and 75% share of a property, while paying a low-cost rent to Abri on the remaining amount.
With a minimum of just a 5% deposit required, this means that potential buyers at The Old Brewery could step onto the housing ladder for as little as £4,462.50 for a 35% share.
Ideally located off Bristol’s North Street, the area isknown for its range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, with weekly farmers markets and the Tobacco Factory Theatre on the doorstep.
The much-loved Greville Smyth Park is also just astone’s throw away, providing a tranquil green space and children’s play area.
For those looking from further afield, the homes are conveniently located with easy access to M32, M4 and M5, providing strong transport links to Birmingham, Exeter and Cardiff.
