Kier Reports Huge Demand For New Houses

Kier Partnership Homes is experiencing huge demand for new homes at Heritage Green, its increasingly popular development of one and two-bedroom apartments, and two, three and four-bedroom homes at New Cardington, Bedford.

This historic area is home to the Cardington Airship Works, founded by Short Brothers during World War I, and the interesting heritage, splendid views of open countryside and beautiful homes are certainly proving a winning combination.

During the weekend following the official opening of Heritage Green, the sales team organised a special first-time buyer event. Visitors enjoyed a glass of bubbly as they were invited to browse around the two gorgeous showhomes. The event was highly successful, with Kier reporting the sale of several properties over the weekend alone.

This surge of interest at Heritage Green means that you need to act quickly to ensure you don’t miss out. Make sure you visit the beautiful showhomes now! If you are a first-time buyer, ask about FirstBuy, the government-approved equity loan scheme, where you pay from 80% but own 100% of your beautiful new home. Prices start from as little as £79,996 with FirstBuy.

All the homes at Heritage Green offer a superb specification, with integrated appliances and chrome downlighters in the kitchens and bathrooms fitted as standard. A range of one and two-bedroom apartments, and a choice of three and four-bedroom houses are available to reserve now.
