Persimmon goes flat out for Birmingham home buyers

When is an apartment not an apartment? Answer is, when you’re at The Chestnuts, Persimmon Homes’ development in Pype Hayes, Birmingham. When you think of apartments, chances are you automatically associate them with as high-rise buildings in a busy city centre location where peaceful moments are few and far between, however, Persimmon’s release of two bedroom apartments in the established residential location of Pype Hayes will challenge any preconception you may have had about this type of property.

At The Chestnuts, each apartment has its very own front door – an obvious feature some may say - however this gives them more of a traditional mews-like feel, and Anita Williams, sales and marketing director believes it’s features such as the individual entrances that differentiates them from competitors’ properties. She comments: “Apartments tend to be found in imposing blocks and are often accessed via communal entrances, however at The Chestnuts we’ve bucked the trend and are building these stylish homes in an attractive ‘L’ shaped two storey complex which is sure to impress buyers.

“From busy young professionals who may need a quick and easy route to the commercial centre of Birmingham through to mature last time buyers looking for a low maintenance property, the new apartment collection at The Chestnuts certainly appeals to the masses.”

Any wannabe first time buyer who dreams about owning a brand new home but just doesn’t think their budget can stretch that far should visit The Chestnuts and prepare to be amazed. They can forget having to settle for second best as with Persimmon’s newly launched Pick & Purchase scheme, buyers can increase their borrowing capacity at a truly affordable level.

Anita continues: “First time buyers may believe a newly built home is simply out of their financial reach. I know they will be pleasantly surprised at The Chestnuts, where an apartment priced at £138,950 could be theirs if their annual household income is £18,000 or more.”

The Chestnuts can be found on the Tyburn Road. Perfect for commuters and shoppers alike, the development is ideally situated for the A38 which enables direct access to Birmingham city centre which is around five miles away, the M6 and M42. Local amenities are plentiful – the Fort Shopping Park is close by, there’s a 24-hour supermarket in proximity and the area is served by good schools. It’s easy to see why properties at The Chestnuts are proving so popular.
