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.

Help to Buy Wales extended – new homes in Haverfordwest available through scheme
THE WELSH GOVERNMENT has extended the Help to Buy – Wales scheme until September 2026, offering new opportunities for buyers to secure a property at the Augustus Grange development in Haverfordwest with financial assistance. The scheme enables eligible buyers to purchase a new-build home valued up to £300,000 with just a five per cent deposit. The remaining amount is covered by a 75 per cent mortgage and a 20 per cent shared equity loan, which is interest-free for the first five years. Five-star housebuilder Lovell Homes, which is delivering the development in partnership with Pobl Group, is encouraging potential buyers to explore the scheme's benefits. Located off St David's Road, Augustus Grange comprises 115 two and three-bedroom homes and lies just six miles from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Unlike some support schemes, Help to Buy – Wales is open not only to first-time buyers but also to existing homeowners looking to move. A number of three-bedroom properties are currently available at the site, including the popular Lambourne and Lansdown designs. Suzie Hewitt, regional sales director at Lovell Homes, said: 'Help to Buy – Wales is a brilliant initiative and we're delighted that it has been extended to 2026. For many, buying a home is the biggest financial step they'll take, and this scheme makes that step more accessible. 'We're offering a range of high-quality homes under £300,000 at Augustus Grange – perfect for first-time buyers, growing families, and those looking to rightsize. We encourage anyone interested to contact our sales team.' Haverfordwest, the historic county town of Pembrokeshire, offers a mix of heritage and modern amenities. With its 12th-century castle, riverside walks along the Western Cleddau, a selection of shops and restaurants, and good transport links, it's an attractive location for both families and commuters. The Augustus Grange marketing suite is open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm. For further information, visit or call 01437 468024. Terms and conditions apply.
