Buyers give new apartments in historic setting their seal of approval

Those looking for a stylish apartment in Farnborough should make an urgent visit to Farnborough Central where properties are selling fast.

Award-winning Redrow is helping change the face of the town centre by building apartments on the historic site of the former Royal Aircraft Establishment.

The combination of the location and high quality specification means the homes in the current phase, known as Vulcan House, are proving popular with a whole host of buyers.

Helen McGill, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), explains: “The apartments at Vulcan House have been immensely successful attracting interest from first time buyers, buy-to-let investors and downsizers alike. In just three month’s we’ve sold almost half of the 44 apartments in the current phase. Part of their appeal is that they enjoy a prime location within the development, boasting views over the open space of the airfield.

“Another strong selling point is the high specification we offer as standard. Customers are delighted to discover that they don’t need to find extra cash to purchase essential white goods as our kitchens are well equipped with integrated top brand name appliances such as fridge freezer, oven, hob and extractor plus washer-dryer.”

The apartments also enjoy sleek bathroom suites with quality fixtures and fittings. And they have all the benefits associated with being brand new including easy maintenance, energy efficiency and no need for costly repairs or renovation.

Current availability includes a choice of one and two-bedroom apartments with prices ranging from £149,950 to £203,950. Selected apartments enjoy the benefit of balconies, enabling residents to make the most of the view.

The Government-backed FirstBuy scheme is available on selected apartments, reducing the cost of homeownership for first time buyers.

Eligible customers can take out an equity loan for 20% of the purchase price, enabling them to buy a brand new apartment with just a 4% deposit and a 76% mortgage.

The new homes at Farnborough Central are conveniently situated next to IQ Farnborough, a vibrant business park with offices, a café, crèche, heritage centre and a recently-opened four-star hotel and leisure complex.

With journey times from Farnborough mainline station to London Waterloo of less than 45 minutes, it’s the ideal place for commuters to call home.
