Take a glimpse at Ebbsfleet Valley

Next weekend (21st – 22nd March), joint developers Countryside Properties and Land Securities are inviting potential new homebuyers to come and catch a glimpse of what life might be like to live at Springhead Park, the first residential development at Ebbsfleet Valley.

First time and existing buyers are being encouraged to come along and find out more about the fantastic opportunities to buy at Springhead Park in 2009. The open house event will also see the unveiling of an impressive new show apartment and three-bedroom show home, as well as providing guests with the opportunity to view Penn Green, the new landscaped central park, for the first time.

A wide range of services will be on offer at the two day event, which is due to take place from 11am to 4pm at the sales and marketing suite on Springhead Road. Visitors can take full advantage of access to independent financial advisors, who will be on hand to give free impartial advice. Members of the sales team and a Part Exchange Manager will also be available to discuss the full range of incentives on offer at Springhead Park.

Would-be purchasers will be able to find out more about the Shared Equity scheme which has proved extremely popular with first-time buyers since the start of the year and is currently available on the newly released Southfleet apartments at Springhead Park. The scheme offers potential purchasers 100% ownership of a brand new Southfleet apartment, for just 75% of the asking price upfront, with no deposit required.

Potential purchasers are advised to move fast, as there are only a few properties remaining with Shared Equity with 11 having already been sold since the start of the year. Two bedroom apartments start from just £131,250*, with all of them boasting floor space over 700 sq ft and en-suites to the master bedroom. One bedroom apartments are also available from only £93,750*.

As well as apartments, Springhead Park is also offering some of the best value brand new homes in the area, with two bedroom houses starting from just £185,000 and three bedroom houses starting from £230,000. For existing homeowners looking to move quickly and easily, Countryside Properties and Land Securities are offering a full value Part Exchange Scheme on their brand new range of houses. The joint developers are offering to pay the full market value on a potential purchaser’s existing home, and with the added benefits of there being no estate agents fees or HIP costs.

Ian Hepworth, Sales Director for Countryside Properties commented: “The open weekend is an ideal opportunity for prospective buyers to come and have a look at the fantastic properties and buying options available to them at Springhead Park. Too often customers are scared off by media reports and the truth of the matter is that there are plenty of incentives which are designed to help buyers who want to get on or move up the ladder in 2009.”

Ian continues: “With the recently completed parkland, confirmation of The Horse landmark which will eventually overlook Springhead Park and the imminent arrival of high-speed domestic services, visitors will also be able to see how the new community at Springhead Park is starting to flourish.”

Springhead Park will provide a mix of 600 one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four bedroom homes centred around a large two and half acre new formal park Penn Green (equivalent to one football pitch) and a new 15 acre park which will run along the edge of development, together with a community centre, a place of worship and a doctor’s surgery.

Residents also benefit from the fact that Springhead Park is the first community in the UK with ‘Fibre to the Home’, a built-in fibre optic technology that will mean every home will be able to experience hyper-speed digital services, including up to 100MB broadband access, only previously enjoyed in a high-tech business environment.

Beautiful Kent countryside is on the doorstep for residents to enjoy, yet London and beyond are within easy reach from Ebbsfleet International station, with a 17 minute connection to London St Pancras International station from late 2009.

One bedroom apartments are priced from just £93,750*, whilst two bedroom apartments are available from £131,250* with the companies Shared Equity Scheme. Two bedroom houses are also available priced from £185,000, three bedroom houses from £230,000 and three bedroom town houses from £249,950.
