After taking home the Daily Post’s Residential Developer of the Year title in 2006, Redrow is back for a second bite of the cherry – after another successful year that has seen the company push forward with both existing and new ventures.

Ian Wilkins, managing director of Preston Brook-based Redrow Homes (North West), is delighted to be in the running for the top award again, saying: “The Daily Post Property Awards are extremely prestigious, and to win two years in a row would be fantastic.

“In the North West we offer a real diversity of product – from starter homes for first time buyers, to slick apartments, eco-friendly properties and traditional family homes - we aim to cater for every type of buyer. And our current developments really showcase what we have to offer.”

The company is currently building in Spital and Port Sunlight, in Wirral, and at Widnes, and Crewe, in Cheshire. It also has developments in Wrexham and Ewloe, North East Wales, and at Stockport, Altrincham and Chadderton, in Greater Manchester - with exciting projects in the pipeline for New East Manchester and Farndon, Cheshire.

In Ditton, Widnes, a new era has now arrived at Chapel Gate. After families and professionals alike snapped up all the two, three and four-bedroom homes, a new range of apartments has been released for sale – and they are proving just as popular as the larger properties. The prices are giving would-be buyers something to smile about too, with a one-bedroom Allen apartment with parking space coming in at just £99,950.

Across the River Mersey on the Wirral, Poulton Manor in Spital is catering to those who enjoy the finer things in life. An exclusive venture of just 62 apartments, the mix of stylish, modern property located in a charming village location is appealing to professionals who want a relaxing base away from their city careers, as well as ‘lock up and leavers’ who spend much of their time abroad in sunnier climes.
