The Zone – Bristol’s most desirable new address

The Zone, Barratt’s award-winning site in the Temple Quarter area of Bristol, is fast becoming the most desirable address in the city, and sales there are consistently higher than at other local developments from rival housebuilders.

“The success of this site has been incredible,” reports Louise Ware, Barratt sales director. “We are selling two or three apartments every week, and our sales research shows that we are outselling our competitors in Bristol.

“We have attracted a number of cash buyers and our First-Time Buyer Initiative Scheme, jointly funded with the government, was incredibly popular,” she continued.

“We have now sold more than 60 per cent of homes at The Zone, including all of our studio apartments, although we can still offer a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from £144,995.

“We can also offer a new government-backed scheme, HomeBuy Direct,” she added. “Buyers only have to secure financing for 70 per cent of the purchase price and no deposit is required. Barratt matches the government’s funding to provide the 30 per cent equity loan.”

Last year, The Zone picked up a Daily Telegraph ‘Your New Home’ award for the country’s best city centre development. Facilities include a fully-equipped residents’ gym and a communal rooftop garden, due to open in the spring.

“It’s hardly surprising that buyers are flocking to The Zone, as it is the ideal location for city dwellers who want to live close to work and a wide range of leisure facilities,” Louise continued.

“The development is just a five-minute walk from the stunning Cabot Circus, which includes Harvey Nichols and the train and bus services at Temple Meads.”

Bristol is ideal for car commuters, as it enjoys excellent motorway links to Weston-super-Mare and Cardiff to the west, Gloucester and Cheltenham to the north and London to the east.
