First time buyers snap up apartments near Crystal Palace

First time buyers are swift to take action when a great opportunity is presented, which is why half of the apartments at Barratt Kent’s Zen development near Crystal Palace have already been reserved.

The homes, which are priced from just £195,000, are being sold under English Partnerships’ First Time Buyers Initiative. This allows first time buyers to buy a property through an affordable mortgage, with the remainder of the purchase price paid directly to Barratt by English Partnerships.

“The chance to buy a home with an affordable mortgage is an enormous incentive in the current market,” comments Ann Moriarty, sales and marketing director for Barratt Kent. “Add to this the fact that these are smart new apartments in an up and coming part of London, close to the high street and station, and it’s easy to appreciate why Zen is selling so quickly.”

The 32 one-bedroom apartments at Zen are located on Anerley Park Road, close to Crystal Palace Park. Anerley’s high street, with its good selection of shops, bistros and cafés, is a short walk away and for commuters it is just a 20-minute train journey from nearby Anerley Station to London Bridge.

Apartments at Zen are very well designed to provide a spacious, light-filled home. There are four variations of layout, each with a modern open-plan living/dining/kitchen arrangement. Designed by Paula Rosa, the high quality kitchens include a washer/dryer. The bedroom is a double and the bathroom is generously sized. The double bedroom has a generously sized bathroom.

Barratt recommends that anyone interested in the homes at Zen should contact them quickly. The marketing suite is open from 10am to 5pm from Thursday to Monday or details are available on the website: Barratthomes.co.uk.
