Buy-to-let market stays strong in the south west

Investment buyers are clamouring to purchase properties at Barratt Homes’ south west developments – backing up recent research suggesting landlords are still confident in the market. “Despite recent reports of a slowdown in the buy-to-let sector, the market remains buoyant,” said Caroline Hill, sales director at Barratt Homes.

“The majority of our buyers plan to move in to the property they purchase, however our developments attract investors because of their desirable locations, high specification fixtures and fittings and well designed layouts.

“Landlords are confident that Barratt properties are an excellent investment in terms of quality, ease of rental and longer term capital gain. So many people want to live in the south west that in some cases, landlords can choose their tenants too.”

Barratt Homes is developing 12 sites throughout the south west, including Lunar Rise in Plymouth, which comprises 109 spacious one and two bedroom apartments, in a prime city centre location, minutes from the vibrant Sutton Harbour Marina. It offers excellent properties to rent, which appeal to professional couples and friends to share. Prices start from £145,950.

Perfect for seaside living is Barratt’s Clanville Grange in the popular resort of Minehead. The development of 48 properties offers one bedroom and two bedroom apartments and two and three bedroom houses of varying sizes, and is in the town’s highly sought-after North Hill district. Currently prices begin at £168,950, and investors are seeing its letting potential.
