Savvy buyers ‘get in at the bottom’ at The Parks

Savvy home buyers in Berkshire are taking sure-footed steps up the property ladder by ‘getting in at the bottom’ before prices pick up.

For example, first-time buyers have made almost a clean sweep of George Wimpey’s brand new apartments at The Parks development in Bracknell Forest – where just five one-bedroom homes now remain for sale.

Priced from only £154,995, the final one-bedroom ‘Crowthorne Court’ apartments are expected to sell very fast as property-seekers try to outpace the rising market, and so the countdown at The Parks has begun for the final five customers to secure their place.

Available in ground floor, first and second floor designs, the ‘Crowthorne Court’ apartments are ideal for first-time buyers and for those downsizing to a maintenance-free home in a superb location.

Each features a contemporary and spacious living/dining room with open-plan kitchen area – ideal for a relaxed way of life and for entertaining – a well-proportioned double bedroom and a bathroom off the private entrance hallway.

Meanwhile, those stepping up to a bigger and better home have been taking advantage of lower price differences to secure new family homes – and now just one house in the 2009 collection at the development remains for sale priced just £289,995.

The final homes for 2009 at The Parks enjoy a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen including built-in oven, hob and hood.

Bracknell is a modern and vibrant town with a pedestrianised shopping centre and a choice of cafes, bars and restaurants and £750m is currently being spent on the regeneration of its town centre, creating new leisure facilities, transport links and healthcare services. Homes are within easy reach of the centre and a choice of supermarkets.

Local schools have an excellent reputation, with pupils attaining results higher than the national average.

For commuters, in addition to excellent rail links, the M3 and M4 are a few minutes away by road.

To find out more about the final five apartments, visit the Sales Information Centre located off Halifax Road, Bracknell Forest, Bracknell and open every day, 10.30am to 5.30pm.
