First residents move into new phase at The Zone

The champagne flowed at The Zone, Barratt's award-winning development in Temple Quarter, as the first homebuyers to legally complete in the latest phase of work celebrated with on-site staff.

The six new homeowners, most of whom are first-time buyers, will be moving into the first development in Bristol to boast an on-site, fully equipped gym for residents. Conveniently located in the heart of the city centre, The Zone recently picked up a ‘Your New Home' award for the country's best city centre development.

Sales negotiators Cheryl Hobbs, Sarah Williams and Alex Hammond and site manager Bob Burgess were on hand to welcome the new owners.

Richard Lawson, Barratt sales manager, commented: "It's very gratifying when the first homeowners move into one of our new phases, and we're pleased so many are first-time buyers.

"We have a number of schemes to help first-time buyers get onto the housing ladder and, because so many have been living with parents or renting accommodation, they really do love moving into a home of their own."

The Zone offers a selection of Citipad studio apartments and traditional one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Current availability includes Citipads priced from £119,995 and two-bedroom apartments priced from £196,995.
