Livv Homes, part of Livv Housing Group, has opened its new show home at Berrywood, marking a key milestone in the Lickers Lane regeneration project in Whiston.

Located on Quistan Way, a newly built road off Berrywood Drive, the development offers a mix of two and three-bedroom homes. Seven properties are available through Shared Ownership, while 19 are offered under the government’s Rent to Buy scheme.

The Rent to Buy scheme allows customers to rent their home at 80% of the market rate while saving for a deposit over a period of up to five years. Shared Ownership buyers can purchase an initial 10-75% share of a home, paying rent on the remainder, with the option to gradually increase their ownership to 100%.

The newly completed homes have been delivered by Tyson Construction, with support from Homes England and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s Brownfield Land Fund. This marks the second phase of development, following the initial phase in 2020 during which Livv provided 28 homes for affordable rent.

Yvonne Westhead-Fyles, director of development, growth & sales at Livv Housing Group, says: “After successfully delivering 28 homes for affordable rent in phase one, we’re proud to introduce home ownership opportunities to the area and give more people the opportunity to get on the property ladder. Our stunning new homes demonstrate how affordability and modern-day living can go hand in hand.

“This is our first scheme that we’ve delivered with the Brownfield Land Fund and it’s been a pleasure to work alongside the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and our project partners.

“This regeneration reflects our commitment to investing in people and place, providing opportunities for local people and transforming this area into a vibrant community where individuals and families can thrive. We can’t wait to see the new Berrywood community grow and flourish.”

Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, adds: “Everyone in our region deserves the chance to live in a safe, secure and affordable home. Through our Brownfield Land Fund, we’re helping to unlock disused sites like this one in Whiston and turn them into thriving neighbourhoods.

“The completion of this next phase at Berrywood is another step forward in our mission to build a fairer, more inclusive Liverpool City Region – and I’m really pleased to see local families starting to benefit from the investment we’ve made.”

Livv recently welcomed Homes England and Tyson Construction to celebrate the completion of the scheme and view the new show home, which is now open for viewings by appointment only.
