Commute for cheaper living in Brentwood
A new report commissioned by the Mortgage Advice Bureau analysing the cost of buying property in the commuter belt has found that even with the rising price of train travel, the cost of living outside London and commuting in to the Capital for work still remains significantly cheaper than living in town. Located just outside London, Brentwood in Essex is the ideal location for those individuals who work in the city but who are looking for a more affordable option. House prices in London average £377,807 where as in Brentwood prices average around £329,808. At Base, a stunning new development by Crest Nicholson, purchasers can secure a fully fitted, high-specification one bedroom apartment for just £188,500.
Furthermore, now has never been a better time to buy a property at Base; in addition to the great value for money the apartments offer, Crest Nicholson is also providing a range of incentives including deposit paid, stamp duty paid, flooring included and £500 towards legal fees and survey fees paid.
Ideal for those who work in the Capital, Base is located just 500 metres from Brentwood Mainline Station which provides direct, efficient services to London Liverpool Street in just 38 minutes. Alternatively, for those who drive in to London, the nearby A12 offers a direct route to Docklands and the City.
Helen Moore, Sales and Marketing Director, Crest Nicholson (Eastern) Ltd. comments: “With such good connections to London, Brentwood is the ideal commuter town, particularly for those who like to escape the daily hustle and bustle of the city. The town has an excellent range of facilities and for those who enjoy the countryside, rural Essex can be reached in minutes.”
An apartment at Base provides an ideal home for busy professionals who would prefer to spend their leisure time enjoying themselves rather than doing DIY. With a brand new apartment there is no decorating to be done and with fitted kitchens featuring a comprehensive range of integrated Bosch appliances together with elegant white bathrooms finished with stylish fittings there’s nothing to be done but to enjoy life!
