Optivo’s site “Home x” is a development plan for 369 new homes to be situated in the Preston barracks site. As it stands there are homes currently available to reserve either using the shared ownership government scheme also know as help to buy, as well as private buyers with a full mortgage.

Flat prices range from;

£245,000 – studio apartment

£280,000 – 1 bedroom flat

£370,000 – 2 bedroom flat

These prices are quite substantial for the square footage you’ll be receiving as the home owner. It’s a common trend for housing to skyrocket, but paying nearly a quarter of a million pounds for a flat where you bedroom will essentially be in you kitchen/living room is quite drastic!

It’s clear that they are at least trying to offer some affordable housing options, but the clear goal here is to recoup costs of other buildings within the project to meet the entire goals of Preston barracks as a whole.
