Crest Nicholson launches EasyBuy at Port Marine

Crest Nicholson has launched EasyBuy at its popular Dockside development at Port Marine in Portishead. With EasyBuy, purchasers have an opportunity to secure a stylish new two bedroom apartment* for just 75% of the asking price.

EasyBuy is not a shared ownership scheme and purchasers at Dockside will own 100% of their new property from day one. Unlike similar schemes, with Crest Nicholson’s EasyBuy there is absolutely no rent to pay or interest accrued on the outstanding 25% of the property’s equity for the first five years.

The deferred amount is paid back at 25% of the property’s open market value at any time up to resale or after 10 years, whichever is sooner. In addition, purchasers who take advantage of this attractive scheme will also benefit from legal and survey fees paid up to £1,000.

Amanda Toogood, Area Sales Manager for Crest Nicholson (South West) Ltd. commented: “Over the last few years rising property prices have made it very challenging for first-time buyers to get on the ladder. EasyBuy at Dockside provides an excellent opportunity for such buyers to secure their desired home but alleviates some of the initial financial burden.

“The Port Marine development has been incredibly popular with buyers so EasyBuy is a fantastic way for people to move to the area and begin to enjoy the lifestyle that they really want.”

Dockside is an attractive collection of two bedroom apartments and three/four bedroom and four/five bedroom town houses located in the tranquil surroundings of Port Marine. As with all homes at the development, the apartments have been carefully designed in order to maximise light and space, and feature a contemporary open plan layout that is in tune with modern living, as well as two allocated parking spaces.

The specification of all apartments at Dockside is to the high standard associated with the Crest Nicholson brand. Kitchens are fully fitted and include a comprehensive range of stainless steel Bosch appliances including oven, hob and chimney hood. Bathrooms come complete with elegant white sanitary ware finished with stylish chrome fittings.

Dockside is located near to Portishead town centre, and a mere 12 miles away from the bustling city of Bristol. The development offers residents waterside living, with opportunities to sail, fish and enjoy water sports from windsurfing to kayaking. It also boasts bars, bistros, pubs and á la carte restaurants in addition to leisure and shopping facilities, a large Waitrose supermarket and a primary school.

Prices at Dockside start from £189,950 for a two-bedroom apartment and £142,463 for a two-bedroom apartment when bought under the EasyBuy scheme. EasyBuy is only available when purchasing an apartment in the D1 phase of the development.
