Dreading university accommodation? Not with Persimmon

Does the thought of sending your child off to live in a grotty student flat make you shudder? Filled with dirty carpets and mismatched furniture finding decent accommodation when you're at University can be a nightmare.

But for worried parents who don't want to leave their children living in a lower standard of accommodation Persimmon Homes has the answer: their stunning new Aalborg place development in Lancaster. Located just a couple of miles from Lancaster University, Aalborg Place presents parents with an ideal spot to buy a home for their teenagers whilst they are studying at university.

First time buyers can buy a one bedroom studio overlooking the canal from as little as £64,000 using the 75% shared equity scheme which the house builder offers. They then have a further ten years to pay the remaining 25% back to Persimmon.

Investors can buy a two-bedroom apartment overlooking the canal from as little as £146,950 and as majority of the two-bedroom apartments come with en-suite they're perfect for renting out once your son or daughter has finished studying.

Not only will the apartment help you feel safe in the knowledge that your children have a quality roof over their heads, it will also prove to be a worthwhile investment for years to come.

Aalborg Place consists of 119 one and two bedroom apartments, eight studios and twelve duplexes in a unique location that combines city centre living with canal side views.

Diane England, sales manager for Persimmon Homes Lancashire, comments: "It can be hard for parents to send their children off to University knowing that they might not be able to find good quality living accommodation. Aalborg place is a really unique development and not only will it offer parents peace of mind it will also provide them with an extremely rentable property for the foreseeable future."

The apartments present buyers with a fantastic mix of space and luxury. The two bedroom apartments boast ample living space so if open plan living is your thing then these properties wont let you down. Most apartments have a balcony overlooking either the canal or the commercial courtyard and residents will also be able to take full advantage of the café/ restaurant which is being built on the ground floor. With prices starting from as little as £84,950 there really is something for everyone and every budget.
