Buy-to-let opportunities in Linby

The last few brand new apartments are now on sale at Bryant Homes’ Bailiwicks Court development in Linby, near Nottingham.

A choice of two-bedroom duplex or single floor apartments is available, and with many experts citing property as a sensible investment in the current climate, these maintenance-free properties represent an outstanding buy-to-let opportunity.

The ‘Linby G’ apartment, for example, offers modern, stylish living over two floors with a superb open-plan reception room and kitchen delivering plenty of space for dining, relaxing with friends and entertaining.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two double bedrooms and a well-proportioned bathroom and like all new homes at Bailiwicks Court, the ‘Linby G’ enjoys a high standard specification, including double glazing and a kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Both the ‘Linby G’ two-bedroom duplex and the more traditional two-bedroom ‘Linby E’ are available priced from £103,995.

Carolyne Watkinson, Regional Sales Manager for Bryant Homes, said: “The apartments at Bailiwicks Court appeal to a wide range of customers – from first-time buyers to young couples, small families and downsizers.

“But with recent reports indicating buy-to-let as a good long-term investment, we expect there to be a lot of interest from property investors.

“In March, members of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) reported that landlords were buying more properties in the first quarter of 2009. And with rising annual yields – up to a 6.2% average in the first quarter of this year according to one rented sector report1 – the Linby apartments are a great investment.”

Bailiwicks Court is located in the idyllic village of Linby, just a few miles north of Nottingham, while Hucknall, which is just under a mile away, offers a wide selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, plus a railway station.

For sports and leisure enthusiasts, the City of Nottingham Tennis Centre and Nottingham Indoor Bowls Centre are all close at hand along with Hucknall Leisure Centre and swimming pool, and a wealth of country parks and golf courses.

Nottingham National Ice Centre, Donnington Park race track, the Peak District National Park and Sherwood Forest are also just a few minutes’ drive – and East Midlands Airport is only 15 miles from the development.

For commuters, the M1 is nearby, and Nottingham’s mainline station has regular services to Manchester, Liverpool and London.
