Sales success at South Quarter in Croydon

Fantastic sales success has been achieved at the launch of Barratt Kent’s New South Quarter development in Croydon, proving that an exciting development in an area of great potential can achieve outstanding sales, even in testing market conditions.

No less than 21 homes were reserved at New South Quarter over the launch weekend of 9th and 10th February, when people arrived early in the morning to get first pick of the homes as they were released for sale.

“This is an amazing result,” comments Ann Moriarty, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt Kent. “We’ve put a massive effort into communicating the excitement and potential of New South Quarter and it’s certainly paid off. People have very quickly appreciated that New South Quarter will be a wonderful place to live and that Croydon is without doubt a place of the future.”

At New South Quarter, sited on the Purley Way, one mile from Croydon town centre, Barratt is creating an urban village of around 800 apartments. With its own medical centre, nursery school, café and convenience store, together with workshops and business start-ups units, this will be a vibrant new community where people can live and work.

Key to the success of New South Quarter is its outstanding location within easy reach of central London. Just steps from the development is Wandle Park Tramline, which links directly with the mainline station. Trains to Victoria and London Bridge take as little as 13 minutes and there is a 24-hour service to Gatwick.

The enormous flair with which New South Quarter has been designed is capturing people’s imagination. The homes, in sharply contemporary architecture, will be set amongst courtyards, landscaped gardens and natural green areas. The River Wandle, which currently crosses the site underground, is being restored and will add to the appeal of the surroundings.

The quality of the homes, one, two and three bedroom apartments, reflects the high standards of the development. Interiors are cleverly designed to make the most of space with a contemporary open-plan living/dining room and kitchen. In most apartments the main living space leads on to a balcony or terrace, where residents can sit and enjoy the views. Two bedroom apartments have a second bathroom, ensuite to the master bedroom.

Currently on sale at New South Quarter are one-bedroom apartments priced from just £189,995 and two-bedroom apartments starting at £234,995. Three-bedroom apartments will be released for sale at a later stage. Barratt is offering to help buyers with their deposit through its exclusive XBond arrangement, guaranteed by Zurich Bank.
