The opening of a new Aldi supermarket in Deeside has been linked with increased demand for new homes, as The Airfields community continues to flourish.
Summers Bridge has been one of our most popular developments since Aldi’s arrival and we’re about to welcome our 100th new homeowner.
The opening of Aldi, alongside Greggs and electric vehicle charging facilities, has attracted new footfall to the area and led to renewed interest from those who want to join a thriving new neighbourhood.
In fact, it’s been our Cheshire and North Wales division’s “best seller” for the last six months - evidence, we believe, of the “Aldi effect”.
Graeme Gibb, sales director for Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales, said:
“Twelve months ago, we predicted Aldi’s arrival would be a huge boost, and it does feel like that’s been the case. Our new neighbourhood here is really beginning to blossom, with almost 100 of our new homes now occupied.
“Summers Bridge achieved our strongest half-year sales across the entire division, driven in no small part by the convenience the new store and wider facilities have brought to the area for residents.
“We know that walkable access to a convenience store is a top priority and Aldi’s presence has reassured buyers that this part of Deeside is an ‘up-and-coming’ location, where long-term investment and growth is planned. It’s all added to the sense of community we’re building at Summers Bridge.”
The phrase “the Aldi effect” was coined in 2016 when research found that being close to the store boosts house prices, in a similar way to the “Waitrose effect”.
We’re delivering 183 new properties at Summers Bridge on the former RAF Sealand site, including one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom semi-detached homes and family-sized three and four-bedroom homes.
The new homes have received interest from first-time buyers, young professionals and families seeking well-connected, high-quality homes with essential amenities on the doorstep.
Current starting prices at Summers Bridge are from £174,995 for a one-bedroom Styal apartment, up to £324,995 for the four-bedroom detached Farndon.
Eligible homes up to £300,000 continue to benefit from Help to Buy Wales, enabling buyers to secure their home with a 5% deposit and a 20% equity loan from the Welsh Government. However, the scheme is due to end this year with September currently the final month for homebuyers to complete a move using Help to Buy Wales.
Two stylish show homes and a sales office are open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
