Work Underway on Flagship Rainhill Housing Development


Work on a flagship new housing scheme in Rainhill is underway.


Construction has started on Phase One of the new Ratcliffe Park development, off Rainhill Road, of two and three-bedroom homes and apartments.


Working in partnership with construction firm Bramall Construction, community regeneration specialists Keepmoat and St Helens Council, the initial phase of the £4 million development will provide opportunities for people to get on the property ladder through shared ownership, as well as some outright sales and rented accommodation.


Phase one is a development of 62 new properties, and a further phase of 44 homes is planned to follow. The original housing estate, known as Warburton Hey, was demolished in 2008 to make way for the new scheme.


Rob Young, Helena Partnerships’ Chief Executive, said: “This is a flagship development for Helena in a prime location. We have worked very closely with our partners, local residents and former


tenants from the site, to make sure that we are creating a positive and sustainable community in that area.”


Helena tenant Dave Ormesher and his family were the first to move into homes in the old Warburton Hey development in the 1960s and, now along with other tenants, Dave has been involved in the planning of Ratcliffe Park.


He said: “The planning for the new development has been going really well and it has been great for tenants to have been involved. I’m really looking forward to seeing the development take shape.”

“Shared ownership is particularly attractive for older buyers since it allows them to free up some of the equity they may have stored in their house to boost their savings and let them enjoy their retirement to the full.”


Liberty Place, Knowsley Road, St Helens: This popular development has apartments available for shared ownership and the rent-to-buy scheme, where people can move in while saving for a deposit – all without the hassle of moving again. Apartments available are a mix of one-bed, two-bed and two-bed duplex (2 storey) apartments. Prices start from £40,000 for a 50% share of a one bed apartment.
