Don’t let the weather get you down

Despite the dire weather there are ways of making yourself wonderfully happy – and that is by treating yourself to a brand new home.

Take your mind off a soaked Wimbledon and weekend barbeques under the umbrella – think of a fabulous property with everything brand new; from the central heating to the kitchen appliances and all with guarantees, so no worries.

Clean, smart, beautifully presented, a brand new home gives you a fillip in life and a fabulous new lifestyle.

Does the threat of a mortgage increase “cloud” your view of whether to invest?

According to John Angela of John Angela Associates, “In the current climate, of the recent rise in mortgage rates, it makes sense to fix your rate. This will enable you to budget your monthly outgoings for the next few years, safe in the knowledge that you are protected from any increases that may arise”.

Also one has to bear in mind that properties have been rising in value, on average, 10% pa which is an incredible sum and far higher than one could expect from a bank or building society saving account.

Currently available at Kingshill in Kent are just two, two bedroom apartments each with parking, currently being marketed at £216,950 and £219,950.
