Latest phase of homes in New Ferry development let in record time
All the affordable new homes at the latest development in New Ferry have been successfully let by Liverpool-based property agency Redwing in less than two weeks.
Sorrel Place is a collection of 20 Rent to Buy homes built in the centre of New Ferry’s regeneration. The rapid uptake in homes reflects the strong demand for affordable and high-quality housing in Wirral.
Delivered in partnership with The Regenda Group and Wirral Council, Sorrel Place plays a significant role in the regeneration of New Ferry, with lettings and property management being managed in house by Redwing.
The development offers 13 one-bedroom and 7 two-bedroom apartments, available through Rent to Buy - a more affordable way onto the property ladder. Residents pay rent at a 20% reduced rate, helping them save to buy a home in the future. Prices start from £580pcm
(including 20% reduction).
Cllr Mark Skillicorn, Chair of Wirral Council’s Economy, Regeneration and Housing Committee, said:
It’s fantastic to see how quickly the new homes at Sorrell Place have been reserved and goes to show how important our focus on delivering high quality, affordable homes is.
Our partnership with The Regenda Group in New Ferry is a cornerstone of revitalising the area, bringing a mix of new housing with real architectural value into the town centre, which will be complemented by improvements to roads and public spaces over the coming months. As the new residents move in this Autumn, it’s a real milestone for the continued investment in the local community.
Jessica Turner, Head of Sales, Lettings and Growth at Redwing, said:
We’re so pleased that all homes at Sorrel Place were reserved off-plan - and in less than two weeks! We had a huge waiting list thanks to months of engagement with the local community, so we knew there was real excitement around this development. With the homes available through Rent to Buy, they offer a brilliant opportunity for people to take that first step onto the property ladder - it’s no surprise they’ve been snapped up so quickly.
The speed of reservations shows just how strong the demand is for quality housing that’s
truly affordable, and we’re proud to be bringing that to New Ferry. As part of The Regenda Group, we’re proud to be working with Wirral Council on the regeneration of the area, and we can’t wait to welcome our new residents later this year.
Residents at Sorrel Place will be the second group of residents to move in as part of the wider redevelopment, following 14 residents already housed on Bebington Road through affordable rent with social landlord, Regenda Homes.
Sorrel Place is expected to complete in November 2025 and will mark completion of the first phase of the regeneration project, with a second phase of the project to bring a further 43 homes currently in the development stage.
