Telford development exceeds expectations

Business is building nicely at a housing development in Hadley where 80% of the target sales for 2009 have already been achieved.

Castle Meadows by George Wimpey West Midlands is selling consistently, despite the so-called credit crunch, and contrary to the belief that housebuilders are suspending or slowing down operations, the company is progressing at full tilt here and literally building to keep up with demand.

Sales & marketing director, Carol Edwards, says: “Despite the current property trend, both visitor levels and sales here have been really encouraging - and we remain cautiously optimistic because the desire to buy a new build home is still there, plus more sustainable price levels give us confidence in the affordability of new homes now and for the future. Lowest ever mortgage interest rates, more realistic house prices and the host of practical deals and incentives we’re offering are also proving very attractive to potential buyers. This coincides with recent reports from Nationwide that house prices rose in May and data from Hometrack which showed an increase in the number of buyers registering their interest with estate agents.”

Castle Meadows is a flagship £21.5 million development made up of 103 homes combining luxury apartments, traditional detached properties and contemporary mews-style homes. It’s located on the former GKN Sankey football stadium and car park off Britannia Way. George Wimpey have also brought in specialist architects to make sure that the scheme offers all the contemporary and modern benefits of new build, but also fits in with the local Hadley vernacular.

Current availability includes a two bedroom detached coach house with parking spaces for just £99,995, three bedroom homes with two parking spaces from only £136,995 and four bedroom homes with garage from just £154,995.
