Strong demand for new homes in Halifax

West Yorkshire-based new home developer Towngate Homes has announced £7m worth of housing sales at its luxury Broomfield Avenue residential scheme in the Savile Park area of Halifax.

In total, 14 out of the total 16 natural stone detached new build homes and townhouses at Broomfield Avenue have either been sold or reserved with all interest secured prior to development. Prices at Broomfield Avenue range from £310,000 to £595,000.

The first four homes, which were sold off-plan in phase one of the scheme, are now complete and in response to demand, Towngate Homes is progressing with the remainder of the scheme with the next phase due for completion in November this year.

The two acre site which Broomfield Avenue occupies is located within a conservation area overlooking Savile Park on the outskirts of Halifax town centre.

Richard Conroy, chief executive of Towngate Homes, said; "There has been much speculation within the housing industry as to the viability of luxury developments such as Broomfield Avenue within the current economic climate. By securing sales and reservations on almost 90% of the development before any building work had begun and without the availability of a show home demonstrates that there will always be a market for top quality homes in the best location.

"Savile Park is a much sought-after area and by placing high emphasis on the design and aesthetics of the homes, we have strived to deliver a lifestyle offering to reflect the overall attractiveness of the area. Due to the incredible response we have already had to the scheme, such is our confidence that we are intending to develop the remaining homes speculatively."
