Yorkshire firm creates modular homes for ‘innovative’ Hartlepool scheme

A North Yorkshire modular homes specialist is providing houses for a new scheme in County Durham.

Knaresborough-based ilke Homes is manufacturing the modular units on behalf of housing group Thirteen in partnership with ENGIE for a new development in Hartlepool.

The scheme at Newholm Court will include 31 properties, comprising a combination of two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes, which are expected to be available from March 2021.

Sharon Thomas, Thirteen’s director of strategic partnerships, commented: “At Thirteen we are committed to providing high-quality homes for our customers to live in.

“The fantastic scheme at Newholm Court has brought additional investment and jobs to Hartlepool and will provide the town with much-needed homes.

“The modular houses will make an important contribution to meeting the housing needs within the borough and will help showcase the quality of factory-built homes to both prospective residents and members of the public.”

Matthew Bench, executive director of partnerships at ilke Homes, added: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Thirteen and ENGIE to deliver much needed affordable housing to Hartlepool.

“Modular manufacturing represents the perfect solution for forward-thinking housing associations, helping them to quickly deliver high-quality, energy-efficient affordable homes.”
