A first class deal for buyers at Archers Place

It’s a conundrum thousands of South East property buyers face each year - do you move closer into London, and pay higher property prices, but lower travel costs, or do you move further out of the city, and enjoy lower property prices, but have any surplus money each month swallowed up by higher transport costs?

The other factor to consider is quality of life - moving closer into London, while cutting down on the commute, can mean busy streets, crowded venues and less places to quietly spend your leisure time and completely “switch off”.

However, award-winning property developer Weston Homes thinks it may have the answer to the problem. In order to offer a new option to customers facing this choice of quality of life versus cost of travel, the developer is giving to each buyer at its Archers Place development in the charming commuter town of Bishop’s Stortford, a first class yearly return season ticket to London’s Liverpool Street station, worth a significant £4,800*.

Gareth Jacob, Sales and Marketing Director for Weston Homes, comments: “This offer is designed to take away one of the major headaches of buying in London and the South East - achieving the balance between quality of life and minimising commuting costs. With this offer, Archers Place provides the best of a relaxed, much more intimate small town lifestyle, with the ease and convenience of a high quality commuter service into London - without the cost.”
