Exceptional connectivity and a strong local economy combined with affordability, an eclectic urban core and attractive surrounding countryside, make Reading an alluring home town.

Home to 13 of the World’s Top 30 Brands with 30,000-plus more people commuting into the town every day than commuting out, Reading is fast evolving into an economic hotspot. In response to this growth, Bellway Homes is proud to announce the launch of Renaissance, a short drive from Reading town centre.

Coinciding with the £14.3 million Government funding project, which is set to enhance and protect the town’s heritage and vibrant high streets, the collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and three and four-bedroom houses are available through Help to Buy.

Benefitting from Reading’s growing status as a business centre and the town’s easy access to London, the homes are ideal for busy families and single professionals alike.

Emma Jones, Sales and Marketing Director at Bellway Thames Valley, comments: “Reading has a thriving local economy and a highly skilled population. However, the current choice of new homes close to the centre is very limited. Renaissance marks the first time in many years that homes have been built this close to the town.

“Help to Buy is an additional component to the high demand for homes in the area. According to Haslams Estate Agents, 78% of reservations in the region took advantage of the Help to Buy scheme in 2019 compared to 24% in 2018. This buying option is available at all of our developments and these new homes offer a chance to live in the midst of this exciting economic hub.”
