Castle Green to showcase new homes in Rhosrobin, Wrexham
Visitors will be able to view finished examples of the four-bedroom detached Beaumont and Burlington house types.
The homebuilder is offering to cover the Land Transaction Tax (LTT), also known as Stamp Duty, on both the Beaumont and Burlington, worth more than £6,000.
Sales director Sian Pitt said: 'Homes at Llys y Coed are proving popular with dozens of properties already reserved and many of them occupied. While some people want to buy off plan, choose everything inside their new home and wait for us to build it for them, others are keen to move sooner rather than later.
"We have two homes in Rhosrobin ready to move into and a two more the construction team are working on that haven't been sold and are due to be finished this summer. We'd invite anyone looking to make a quick move to a new home in the Wrexham area to join us next Saturday. They'll be able to view the Beaumont and Burlington house types, along with the show homes.'
The Beaumont offers 1,222 sq ft of living space including a lounge at the front, with combined kitchen, dining and family room spanning the width of the property. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms, one with en-suite, plus the family bathroom.
The Beaumont is available form £338,995, with the LTT contribution worth around £6,840.
Priced from £329,995, the Burlington spans 1,249 sq ft and again has a lounge at the front. The kitchen/ dining room is at the rear, plus there's a cloakroom and storage cupboard.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has an en-suite, leaving the family bathroom to serve the other three bedrooms.

GDP slows to just 0.3% growth in second quarter – what it means for YOU
Go to the bottom of this story to find out what the latest figures mean for your wallet MONEY TALKS GDP slows to just 0.3% growth in second quarter – what it means for YOU Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE UK's economy grew in the three months to June but slowed on the first quarter of the year. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 0.3% between April and June. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The UK economy has grown but slowed compared to the start of the year Credit: Getty This is lower than the 0.7% recorded between January and March, but stronger than expected by analysts. GDP grew in the second quarter of the year mostly due to the services and construction sectors. It's worth bearing in mind these latest quarterly figures are estimations and are open to be revised at a later date. Liz McKeown, director of economic statistics at the ONS, said: "Growth slowed in the second quarter after a strong start to the year. "The economy was weak across April and May, with some activity having been brought forward to February and March ahead of Stamp Duty and tariff changes, but then recovered strongly in June. "Across the second quarter as a whole growth was led by services, with computer programming, health and vehicle leasing growing. "Construction also increased while production fell back slightly. "Growth for the quarter was also boosted by updated source data for April, which while still showing a contraction, was better than initially estimated. "Services also drove growth in June with scientific R&D, engineering and car sales all having a strong month. "Within production, which recovered, manufacture of electronics performed especially well." Understanding GDP and Its Impact on the Economy The data today was largely expected by analysts to show the UK economy slowed to just 0.1% growth in the second quarter of 2025 after a strong start to the year. Last Thursday, the Bank of England forecast second-quarter UK GDP growth of 0.1%, slowed from 0.7% in the first quarter. Figures have already shown that GDP contracted by 0.3% in April and 0.1% in May. Plus, figures on Tuesday showed the UK jobs market weakened again, but overall wage growth remains strong, prompting traders to trim their bets on the possibility of another Bank of England rate cut this year. Separate figures published by the ONS today showed GDP grew by 0.4% in June. Patrick O'Donnell, chief investment strategist at Omnis Investments, said: "It appears that the economy is weathering any uncertainty associated with tariffs and tax policy for now. "The probability of a further cut from the BoE by the end of the year has reduced somewhat following their recent guidance and labour market data. "The next signpost for the market will be next week's inflation report, where particular focus will be paid to the services component, given the historical correlation with wage inflation. "We still expect a further cut from the BoE this year and the cycle to continue into 2026 but appreciate that there will be market volatility as data evolves between now and then." What it means for your money GDP measures the economic output of companies, individuals and Governments. If it is rising steadily, but not too much, it's a sign of a healthy and prosperous economy. This is because it usually means people are spending more, the Government gets more tax and businesses get more money which then means pay rises for workers. When GDP is falling, it means the economy is shrinking which can be bad news for businesses and workers who face pay cuts or even losing their job. The Bank of England (BoE) also uses GDP and inflation as key indicators when determining the base rate. This decides how much it will charge banks to lend them money and is a way to try to control inflation and the economy. If GDP is low, the BoE cuts its base rate in order to encourage people to spend and invest money. If it is higher, the BoE may keep its base rate higher in order to keep inflation in check. What is the base rate and how does it affect the economy? NINE members of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee meet eight times each year to set the base rate. Any change to the Bank's rate can have wide-reaching consequences as it directly influences both: The cost that lenders charge people to borrow money The amount of savings interest banks pay out to customers. When the Bank of England lowers interest rates, consumers tend to increase spending. This can directly affect the country's GDP and help steer the economy into growth and out of a recession. In this scenario, the cost of borrowing is usually cheap, and the biggest winners here are first-time buyers and homeowners with mortgages. But those with savings tend to lose out. However, when more credit is available to consumers, demand can increase, and prices tend to rise. And if the inflation rate rises substantially - the Bank of England might increase interest rates to bring prices back down. When the cost of borrowing rises - consumers and businesses have less money to spend, and in theory, as demand for goods and services falls, so should prices. The Bank of England is tasked with keeping inflation at 2%, and hiking interest rates is a way of trying to reach this target. In this scenario, the losers are those with debt. First-time buyers will lose out to cheaper mortgage rates, and those on tracker or standard variable rate mortgages are usually impacted by hikes to the base rate immediately. Those on a fixed-rate deal tend to be safe if they fixed when interest rates were lower - but their bills could drastically increase when it's time to remortgage. The cost of borrowing through loans, credit cards and overdrafts also increases when the base rate rises. However, the winners in this scenario are those with money to save. Banks tend to battle it out by offering market-leading saving rates when the base rate is high. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Second homes policy shows impact but fears grow 'vital' visitors will shun Wales
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info North Wales Live readers remain doubtful that Wales' clampdown on holiday homes is showing a clear "impact on purchasing behaviour". The boom in second homes and holiday lets in some rural and coastal communities has sparked a fierce backlash, with concerns over the strain on local residents. In parts of Gwynedd, holiday homes have made up half of all properties, prompting stark warnings about threats to the Welsh language and culture. Measures have been brought in to reverse the trend and free up housing for locals – though critics say the real focus should be on building more homes. The changes include steep council tax premiums on second homes and stricter criteria for properties to qualify as council tax–exempt holiday lets. Cyngor Gwynedd has also introduced a new Article 4 directive requiring planning permission to change a home's use. Other regions are considering similar rules. While many welcome the crackdown, the tourism industry warns of a potential hit to their trade, and the Conservatives argue that more housing construction should take priority. New Land Transaction Tax figures – Wales' version of stamp duty – suggest the policies are reducing sales to second home and holiday let buyers. Properties bought as second homes, holiday homes, or for buy-to-let face higher transaction rates, and such sales are now falling. Adam Al-Nuaimi, Head of Data Analysis at the WRA, said: "Comparing the year to June with the previous year, many areas of Wales saw decreases in their percentage of residential transactions which were higher rates, in particular the Isle of Anglesey and Gwynedd." Commenter Ofcourseitis says: 'There are some excellent bargains to be snapped up for anyone who wants to retire to North Wales and work from home, it's a great lifestyle change.' SCATHINGPEN writes: 'So, if the measures imposed by Gwynedd Council with the premium on second home Council tax and the 182 rule for holiday lets is working, how exactly, has the housing demographic changed? Who's buying the properties now? They're still way beyond the price point of locals due to locals not earning the right salaries to buy them. 'I guess they are being bought by those wishing to retire here, those already in the holiday letting business or other, richer second home owners who really don't care how high the council tax is because they're rich. From what I see, there is only one set of winners here, the councils who are always in search of a new source of revenue. The housing crisis hasn't changed. Locals still don't own the keys to their doors.' Steamnut agrees: 'They are making it up as they go along to justify the actions they have taken. Where are the new builds of low cost housing that were supposed to be built using this extra money? The money should have been ring fenced from the start.' Lucy1967 points out: 'The people that are buying second homes are those who obviously have plenty of money - having more affordable housing is fine, but you still have to be working and earning over a certain amount. It's not as easy as people may think, we need more social housing for people who cannot afford to buy, renting is as high if not in a lot of cases more expensive than a mortgage. As long as this continues then things will never change, gradually there will be less and less Welsh people living in their own birth place, which is very very sad." Jnrm replies: 'But some second home owners inherited the properties from parents and wish to maintain a presence in their homeland. The other owners are not 'lucky' they are hard working people who saved their earnings to afford a second home rather than going on expensive holidays every year.' Statistix says: 'I take issue with the 'I deserve to live in the village where I was brought up' argument. Most children brought up in a nice big house in a popular village have benefitted from their parents' struggle to climb the property ladder. How many of us starting out could or can expect to afford what our parents strived for years for?' Sparklytiger states: 'You're all blaming incomers for buying homes in Wales. Just remember, it's the Welsh that sold those houses for top prices. Not ONE of the sellers had the morals to think 'I know I can get thousands more but I'll take a really low offer instead so my Welsh compatriots can have a home where they live'. Start by looking at who REALLY is at fault here.' Tjr42 adds: 'Tourism is vital to Wales.' Do you think higher taxes on second homes are helping Wales or harming tourism?

Buyers snap up new homes in Buckley at preview event
The early interest comes ahead of the full launch of Hawthorn Meadows, a 159-home development by Castle Green Homes on Well Street. The scheme, set on a 13.2-acre site in the Flintshire town, is included in the Flintshire County Council Local Development Plan and was secured through the Welsh Procurement Alliance framework. Sian Pitt, sales director for Castle Green Homes, said: "We've been receiving enquiries from potential purchasers keen to learn more about our new homes in Buckley since plans were first announced. "We had a great response to our preview event. "Three people made early bird reservations, giving them first refusal when their preferred property is released for sale in line with the build programme. "Another three who have an existing house to sell have signed up for our Easy Move service, whereby we'll help them secure a buyer so that they can then buy a new home from us." The development offers a mix of three and four-bedroom homes, with early bird reservations now open ahead of the official sales launch in August. Prices currently range from £274,995 to £392,995. Homes priced under £300,000 qualify for the Help to Buy – Wales scheme, which requires just a five per cent deposit and a 75 per cent mortgage, with the remaining 20 per cent covered by a five-year, interest-free equity loan. Ms Pitt also encouraged prospective buyers to set up a Willow account via the Castle Green Homes website. She said: "With the help of a virtual new homes assistant, buyers can explore the options and upgrades available in our new homes in Buckley, testing out different kitchen finishes, worktop and flooring combinations to suit their taste and budget wherever and whenever they want to. "Effectively Willow creates a digital twin of the customer's home room by room while we do the hard work in making it a reality." Hawthorn Meadows will also include public open space and a play area with at least five pieces of equipment. Section 106 contributions tied to the development include £387,849 for secondary education, £85,799 for primary education, and £18,200 for highways improvements.
