Selling strong in Port Marine

Fifty percent of homes have been snapped up at Persimmon Homes' popular Mariner's Reach development in Port Marine. A new destination for families looking to enjoy a marina lifestyle, Mariners Reach blends the best of traditional village life with the convenience of modern housing and design, offering a choice of one to four bedroom homes arranged in an attractive blend of elegant boulevards and avenues.

Purchasers have been keen to become part of this new community which lies just a short walk from Port Marine's stylish waterfront:

"The opportunity to be part of an exciting new marina community is clearly one which house hunters do not want to miss out on," commented Carole Negus, sales manager for Persimmon Homes Severn Valley.

"Port Marine is an extremely innovative development which is not only one of Europe's largest eco housing schemes but also offers purchasers the opportunity to enjoy all the leisure and psychological benefits associated with living close to water. Couple this with the creation of new shops, leisure facilities and schools here and it's easy to see why living at Mariners Reach is proving so hard to resist."

A range of three and four bedroom homes are currently available at Mariners Reach with many properties ready for occupation this summer. Purchasers who reserve a home by 30th May can take advantage of Persimmon's fantastic range of summer offers designed to ensure every purchaser can choose a deal that is right for them. House hunters can choose from:

* Big Deal - up to £10,000 discount, Stamp Duty paid and more
* Part Exchange - let Persimmon buy and sell on your old home
* 1st Time Buyer - claim 5 percent deposit paid and a designer furniture pack
* Mortgage Holiday - up to £1,000 mortgage contribution per month for 12 months

What's more, to make sure purchasers can still enjoy a summer getaway this year, those who reserve a home by 30 May will receive an additional £1,000 to spend with Thomson holidays when they move in. And if the purchase is completed by the end of June the company will double this to £2,000.
