Buyers still looking in North London

In their latest survey, RICS reported that the number of enquiries from new buyers improved for the fifth consecutive months and that enquiry levels are now at their highest level for 16 months. This increase of interest from buyers was noticeable at Belstone Homes’ recent launch of their brand new show apartment at their Signature development in Edgware, which was held on the 13th and 14th September and attracted over 35 people.

Trevor Britton, managing director of Belstone, comments: “We have definitely noticed an increase in the number of interested buyers attending our show apartment launches over the last few weeks, which does suggest that there is still a strong market for good quality, well located properties in north London and Hertfordshire.”

Trevor continued, “I think that this increasing level of interest is down to the fact that mortgage rates are now coming down and that people are realising that bricks and mortar are one of the safest ways of investing your money, especially at a time when there is so much turbulence in the financial sector.”

Signature by Belstone Homes is a stylish collection of 17 high specification one and two bedroom apartments located on a tree lined plot close to Edgware’s High Street. Even before the opening of the show apartment, the development had proved extremely popular and now just seven two bedroom apartments remain – each one benefiting from a balcony or roof terrace.

The new two bedroom show apartment has been designed by respected interior designer Fiona Nix and features a private balcony top the front of the property and large, well proportioned rooms which are flooded by light from the large windows. The apartment is fitted with a highly functional designer kitchen complete with fully integrated stainless steel appliances and the two contemporary bathroom suites benefit from stylish white sanitaryware and chrome fittings.

Angela Kingdon of Fiona Nix comments: “We designed the apartment to allow a relaxed and easy lifestyle: the pistachio and purple colours that we have used are very warm and inviting and the stylish and understated furniture give this superb modern property a really sophisticated and classic edge.“

Each home on the development has been allocated its own private underground parking space and the majority of the remaining apartments have the added advantage of a terrace or balcony. The development’s one remaining penthouse features an especially spacious private terrace which offers fantastic views over north London and of the Wembley Arch.

Situated on Edgware’s High Street, Signature is excellently located to take advantage of everything this vibrant area has to offer including an array of bars and restaurants, a large Sainsbury’s, an LA fitness and Edgware’s shopping centre, The Mall. For fitness fanatics, there are three other gyms in addition to LA Fitness located within a mile of the development, plus several golf courses, tennis and squash courts and horse riding facilities in the surrounding area. The development is also located close to Stonegrove Park which boasts seven acres of quiet parkland.

Edgware benefits from excellent transport links. The London suburb is the last stop on the Northern line which provides journeys into central London in just 30 minutes and the M1 is moments away connecting the rest of the UK.

All one bedroom apartments have now been sold, a limited number of two-bedroom apartments remain with prices starting at £345,000. For further information log on to Belstonehomes.com.
