Investment opportunity is in The Zone

Investors now have a unique opportunity to buy a stunning show home at The Zone, Barratt's award-winning development in the Temple Quarter area of Bristol. Three show homes are being sold through the developer's show home leaseback scheme.

"These schemes have proved extremely popular with investors as they offer a hassle-free, positive cash flow investment," reports Andrea Pilgrim, Barratt sales manager. "Customers buy the property outright from Barratt and rent it back to us at an agreed rental figure. We can guarantee a rental income for 12 months."

The first show home for sale under the scheme is a first-floor Citipad studio apartment, which offers a quality fitted kitchen, spacious living/sleeping area and an attractive shower room. Priced at £135,000, this property will initially yield a monthly rental of £550.

The second show home is available to a cash buyer only. This ground-floor Skyline apartment offers two double bedrooms, a spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen area and a bathroom. The property has an asking price of £190,000 and will initially yield £800 per month.

The last show home, a first-floor Vanquish apartment, also boasts a spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen area and two double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite. This unit is priced at £210,000 and will initially yield a monthly rental of £875.

Located in the heart of Bristol, The Zone offers a selection of Citipads and one, two and three-bedroom apartments. It is the first and only apartment building in Bristol to boast an on-site, fully equipped gym for residents.

The development also enjoys an ideal location - close to the re-developed Cabot Circus shopping centre, the bustling district of Temple Quay and the major transport hub of Temple Meads Station.

"The Zone recently picked up a ‘Your New Homes' award for the Best City Development, and its location - close to shopping, transport and leisure facilities - is proving popular with first-time buyers and young professionals as well as investors," Andrea added.
