Hertford housing market hots up

New apartments in Hertford are hot property – almost half of the homes released have already been snapped up by eager buyers, even though they won’t be able to move in for almost 12 months.

Homes at Redrow’s Priory Gate development are being sold ‘off plan’ via Stephen Oates estate agents in the town. And while they won’t be ready to move into until next summer, they’re already proving popular.

Kerry Jenkins, sales director for Redrow Homes (Eastern), said: “Priory Gate has attracted keen interest from a range of purchasers and demand is such that we’ve already sold 14 of the 30 apartments on release. It’s a fantastic start considering buyers are relying on floor plans to help select their apartment and won’t be able to complete their purchase until summer 2016.”

Current availability at Priory Gate includes one-bedroom apartments from £254,995 and two-bedroom designs from £309,995.

Both styles enjoy open plan layouts with combined kitchen, living and dining areas to maximise the potential of the space. The apartments boast a high specification as standard including kitchens that are well equipped with integrated top brand name appliances, stylish bathroom suites and a host of energy efficient measures.

Located on Mill Road, next to Herford East station, the homes at Priory Gate make an ideal commuter base. Trains whisk passengers to London Liverpool Street in less than an hour.

“Hertford was recently named as a new supertown for people moving out of London and the excellent commuter links have undoubtedly played a part in the popularity of Priory Gate,” Kerry added.

“People are increasingly seeing the benefits of leaving the city behind and expanding their geographic search for a new home to achieve better value for money.”
