We’re very pleased to have secured a £4 million funding loan with Homes England to support the delivery of 37 new homes at our St Bridget’s development in Brigham, Cockermouth.
Homes England will provide the finance through its £4.5 billion Home Building Fund – a scheme introduced to support small and medium sized (SME) housebuilders in the delivery of new housing. The funding from Homes England will also facilitate the construction of an off-site Drainage Improvement Scheme, which will greatly benefit the village of Brigham.
St Bridget’s offers an attractive range of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes built to a high specification. The development has been carefully designed to incorporate natural features, including a picturesque pond with an array of wildlife.
Nicky Gordon, Managing Director of Genesis Homes said:
“We’re very excited to announce this support from Homes England which will contribute to the delivery of our new homes in Brigham. It’s great to see Homes England eager to work with small and medium housebuilders to deliver the number of homes needed.”
Colin MacCallum, Transactions Manager, from Homes England said:
“Homes England’s objective is to support and create more SME developers to help diversify the market.
“We are pleased to have collaborated with Genesis Homes to provide finance for this scheme. St Bridget’s is another example of how we work with our partners and do things differently to address the shortage of housing and get more homes built.”
