Buy A New Home In Motherwell For £80 Per Week With Bett Homes' Shared Equity Scheme

Homebuyers looking for new homes in Merseyside will find the market spans two key areas of the county, which is split by the Mersey Estuary. The Wirral is located on a peninsula on the western side of the estuary, while the dynamic city of Liverpool and the remainder of the county is situated on the east side of the estuary. The two parts are conveniently linked by the Mersey Tunnels, the Mersey Railway, and the Mersey Ferry.

New homes on the eastern side of the estuary

For those house-hunting on the eastern side of the estuary, there's a choice of new starter homes in the towns and suburbs surrounding Liverpool, such as St Helens, Huyton and Prescot. St Helens is a substantial commuter town for Liverpool, offering a good choice of starter homes for singles, couples and families. It's only about 15 miles from Liverpool, but also has its own busy shopping centre plus public parks, schools, sports venues, theatres, cinemas, restaurants and nightlife, making it a popular choice for families. Ben Bailey Homes has a new phase of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes coming soon to Canterbury Fields in St Helens, priced from £107,500 to £141,500.

Moving a few miles closer to Liverpool, the town of Prescot is another popular place to set up home in the North West. Current housing developments there include Taylor Wimpey's Speakman Gardens, made up of two-bedroom apartments and three- and four-bedroom homes from £74,800. Just eight miles from Liverpool, these homes offer easy access to the city centre's businesses, shops and entertainment, while Prescot itself offers a choice of shops and schools, while on the edge of town there's Knowsley Safari Park. A Deposit Match or FirstBuy assistance scheme is available on selected plots, invaluable help for first-time buyers.

A few miles down the road in Huyton, Gleeson Homes has created a collection of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes from £91,995 at Montreal Gardens, less than eight miles from Liverpool. With local shops, a retail park, a leisure centre and restaurants on its doorstep, the area also offers a wide choice of schools for growing families, including a newly-opened secondary academy within walking distance. The company runs a number of initiatives to help first-time buyers with a deposit or shared equity arrangement.

New homes on the Wirral, or western side of the estuary

Over on the Wirral, in Ellesmere Port, there are just three remaining three-bedroom homes at The Beeches at Rossfield Park development from Persimmon Homes. Priced from £142,995, these townhouses are situated near the M53, within easy reach of Liverpool (20 miles away) and Manchester (39 miles) - an ideal location for commuters. There are schools nearby, and major employers such as Stanlow oil refinery and a Vauxhall Motors factory, plus tourist attractions and local amenities.

Buyers with a bigger budget could consider the new Macbryde Homes scheme at Langdale Mews in Bebington, a select development of 12 four-bedroom townhouses priced from £199,950 to £204,995. Located in a popular residential area with a good mix of primary, secondary and grammar schools, Bebington is only about five miles from Liverpool and 35 miles from Manchester. The Wirral town of Birkenhead is on its doorstep, as are five local nature reserves. A "Pay 90% now, 10% later" deal has just been announced on this development.
