New affordable homes coming to Kimberley

Helping local families onto the property ladder

Development has begun on nine high-quality, three-bedroom homes on Noel Street in Kimberley. These new homes are available for purchase through shared ownership, they combine affordability with energy efficiency for long-term benefits.

Built by Tanbry Construction, these homes will be sold for part rent, part buy, providing local people with an affordable route to home ownership.

Shared ownership enables prospective homeowners to purchase a share of a property and pay affordable rent on the remainder, with the option to increase their share over time until they own the property outright. 

The £2.5 million development is being delivered with support from Broxtowe Borough Council. To celebrate the progress of the scheme, the Mayor of Broxtowe, Cllr Robert Bullock, joined representatives from NCHA, Tanbry Construction, Pelham, and local councillors for a site visit.

Portfolio Holder for Housing at Broxtowe Borough Council, Councillor Vanessa Smith, said: “It was fantastic to mark the beginning of the Noel Street development in Kimberley, which consists of high quality, energy efficient homes. Affordable housing developments like this are so important in providing residents and families in Broxtowe with quality homes. 

 “I’m especially excited to hear that they’ll be available through shared ownership, giving residents that all important help they need to become homeowners.”

The homes, designed by RG+P Architects, are being constructed to the highest standards of energy efficiency, achieving EPC A ratings. Features include gas boilers, PV solar panels, and EV car charging points, ensuring residents benefit from lower energy bills and a more sustainable lifestyle.

Fran Cropper, New Business and Development Manager at NCHA, commented: “We’re thrilled to bring these affordable homes to Kimberley. Shared ownership is a fantastic way for families to take their first step onto the property ladder, and it reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting communities and making home ownership accessible for local people.”

The development is owned and managed by NCHA and supported by funding from Homes England, as part of our Strategic Partnership for 2021–2028, which aims to deliver affordable housing across the East Midlands.

Completion is expected later this year, with applications for shared ownership opening this summer. For more information, visit www.ncha.org.uk or contact NCHA’s Sales team.
