Quick sales buck the trend at Q

Property-seekers are snapping up the stylish range of brand new homes at George Wimpey's popular Q development at Chester Green near Derby - and with prices from £89,995 the trend is set to continue over the Christmas period.

While sales have slowed in the second-hand property market, new-build homes have been purchased at the steadfast rate of one a week at Q, reflecting the fact savvy movers can make great savings can be made by choosing a high-quality home with financial incentives tailored to their circumstances.

Two-bedroom apartments are proving particularly popular at the development - and their affordable prices mean they are an ideal solution for first-time buyers looking to step onto the property ladder.

The ‘Cyan' apartment, for example, features a spacious lounge with double doors to the kitchen to maximise the proportions of the contemporary living space, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a private entrance hallway with built-in storage closets.

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

Incentives for first-time buyers include their 5% deposit paid and help with legal fees, while George Wimpey's easymover programme enables customers with a property to sell to reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property - guaranteeing 100% of the market value - and pays the estate agents' fees.

Customers can also take advantage of the leading housebuilder's House 2 Home bespoke moving package comprising free UK removal regardless of distance or size of property, full packing and unpacking service and insurance cover.

Q enjoys a stunning position at Chester Green - overlooking Darley Park and the River Derwent, and yet less than two miles from the city centre, it is perfect for commuters, first-time buyers, investors and those looking for a new home in a great location.

Over the next few years Derby will undergo a visionary transformation, including a £340 million investment in the retail heart of the city, £100 million in improving public open spaces, and with huge developments in the pipeline for the commercial, cultural, leisure and tourist sectors throughout the area.

Closer still, Chester Green has a small general store, a Post Office, a café and sandwich shop, and two public houses.
