An investment opportunity you can't afford to miss?

Buy-to-let investors who purchase a new home at Marble Court in Lichfield can guarantee a great return on their purchase until 2012 through a simple new scheme.

The offer from leading housebuilder George Wimpey North Midlands aims to make it easier for would-be landlords to enter the buy-to-let market by guaranteeing a gross rental yield of 6% of the purchase price for the first four years.

George Wimpey’s approved letting agents will then make life even easier for new landlords by finding a tenant for them – and they’ll still receive monthly rental payments even if their property is empty.

The scheme is available to those reserving an investment property at Marble Court before 30 April 2008 – but with just twelve homes remaining at this exclusive 28-home development, the opportunity might not last that long!

Pam Bourne, George Wimpey North Midlands Sales and Marketing director, comments: “This is a really straightforward scheme which allows buyers to enter the buy-to-let market safe in the knowledge that they will receive a minimum 6% return until at least 2012.

“Reports suggest that the rental market in the UK remains buoyant and we’re certainly still receiving a great deal of interest from both seasoned investors and those looking to become landlords for the first time.

“Our homes are modern, well designed, low maintenance and cost-effective to run, making them ideal rental properties.

“The guaranteed rental offer is just another example of our tailor-made schemes that offer real practical and financial advice, making it easier for our buyers to purchase the right property for them.”

Investors can choose from two-bedroom apartments priced from £159,995, and three-bedroom houses from £229,995.

The two-bedroom ‘Loft’ apartment, for example, is an ideal investment, boasting all the benefits of practical design combined with the essentials for tenants.

The home features an open plan living/dining room, a thoughtfully-designed kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The accommodation is accessed from a generous separate hallway, located up the stairs from the entrance lobby and a single garage.

Like all new homes at the development, the ‘Loft’ enjoys a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Marble Court is ideally located within walking distance of a wide choice of independent and high street stores, leisure amenities, health facilities, schools and nurseries, and Lichfield railway station.

The development is also just a short drive from the A38, providing a direct link to the city of Birmingham in 30 minutes, and within easy reach of Birmingham Airport and of the M6 motorway.

George Wimpey also offers a range of deals tailor-made for all types of buyers, and for those with a property to sell, the leading housebuilder’s easymover programme offers a range of attractive incentives on selected properties.
