Invest in bricks and mortar with Taylor Wimpey

Property ownership is continuing to overtake other traditional forms of pension saving according to Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties which has reported a surge in investment interest at its Quakers Walk development in Devizes.

“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.

At Quakers Walk Taylor Wimpey has a selection of properties which suit the investment market, including the spacious two bedroom Pendine apartment. Priced at £115,883, the Pendine features a sizeable open plan living and dining area, a separate kitchen, two well proportioned bedrooms and modern family bathroom.

Karen Elson, lettings manager with Strakers Estate Agents, highlights the returns investors can expect when buying a Pendine apartment: “We’re seeing rental yields of around 5% for similar properties in Devizes, which is a fantastic return. Buying a property is still a very worthwhile option for those looking to safeguard their financial future.”

Sarah continues: “In addition to the predicted rental yields, there are a number of great benefits associated with purchasing a new build house from us. Our buy-to-let investors receive the same great customer service throughout their buying process as those buying a home of their own. Plus there are no costly renovations to consider and each of our properties comes with the NHBC’s ten year warranty.”

In addition to the Pendine apartments, Quakers Walk hosts a desirable collection of two, three and four bedroom homes with prices starting from £126,933 under the local homes for local people scheme for the two bedroom Buckthorn house type.

Quakers Walk is located to the north east of Devizes, just a short distance from the town centre and will provide a fantastic selection of properties suitable for young professionals, investors, downsizers and growing families. For commuters Quakers Walk is conveniently accessible from London or Heathrow Airport by using the M4.
