Make a sound investment with Taylor Wimpey

Property ownership is continuing to overtake other traditional forms of pension saving according to Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties who has reported a surge in investment interest at its Waterlooville development, Wellington Park at Dukes Meadow.

“At present, more and more people are considering property investment as it’s believed to be a much safer way to secure their long term financial future, especially when compared to the volatility of the stock market,” comments Sarah Pasco, regional sales director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties.

Crista Sanderson is one particular purchaser at Wellington Park who is enjoying property investment to the full. She has now bought two investment properties from Taylor Wimpey, one of which is located at the Waterlooville development.

She states: “By investing in bricks and mortar my money is definitely working hard for me and having an additional income is very reassuring long term.

“I decided to invest in property because I wanted to supplement my income, which is proving to be a great decision.

“There are a number of great benefits associated with purchasing a new build house from Taylor Wimpey; as a buy-to-let as I received excellent customer service throughout and there were no costly renovations to consider or unexpected complications throughout the buying process. Also each home comes complete with the NHBC’s ten year warranty.”

Martin Archbold, letting agent with Reeds Rains, highlights the returns investors can expect when buying in the Waterlooville area. He states: “We’re seeing rental yields of around 5.1 per cent, which is a fantastic return given current market conditions. Buying a property is still a very worthwhile option for those looking to safeguard their financial future.”

Crista continues: “I chose the two bedroom coach house at Taylor Wimpey’s Wellington Park development as it’s an ideal house to maintain. As I live on site myself it’s so easy to manage my properties.

“The location of the development was also an important factor. Wellington Park is situated not far from the A3 leading directly into Portsmouth, making it a very attractive place for commuters so I’m never worried about interest from the rental market.”

Wellington Park at Dukes Meadow offers a delightful collection of new one, two, three and four bedroom properties in the thriving Hampshire town of Waterlooville. Due to the range and differing styles of house types available there really is something for everyone including investors.

Among the current release of properties is a collection one and two bedroom apartments, priced from £132,000, and a range of three and four bedroom homes, with prices starting from as little as £255,000.
