See the end of year deals at Solus

House-hunters can pick up a brand new home for an incredible price before the end of the year at George Wimpey's popular Solus development in Colchester. Over the final few weeks of 2008 the leading housebuilder is offering a selection of three and four-bedroom homes from just £179,995 - and with special incentives for first-time buyers, members of the Armed Forces and those with a home to sell, there's never been a better time to secure a brand new home at an affordable price.

Tina Dedman, Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey East London, says: "Homes at Solus have been extremely popular throughout the year, bucking the national trend for slowing sales. We now have only a handful of houses complete with carpets, floorings and integrated appliances, which will be available to customers on a first-come, first-served basis before the New Year arrives.

"With an Armed Forces discount of £500 for every £25,000 spent, similar great savings for first-time buyers, and help for those putting a property on the market including part-exchange options, we're encouraging people to come along and see us before we're sold out!"

Just one of the homes available now at Solus is the substantial detached ‘Jemison Special' townhouse design. Comprising spacious living accommodation over three floors for only £249,995, buyers will benefit from an exceptional living room, a separate kitchen/dining room, a utility room, a master bedroom with en-suite and three further bedrooms - one of which is perfect as an optional study/reception room.

Like all new homes at the development, the ‘Jemison Special' is finished to a high standard specification including double glazing, central heating and a fully fitted kitchen complete with oven, hob and hood.

Situated in a peaceful location to the south of Colchester town centre, Solus is a 20-minute drive of the coast at West Mersea and within easy reach of an abundance of leisure facilities including pubs, restaurants, sports and nightclubs.

Commuters will appreciate good rail and road links to Chelmsford, Brentwood and London, and to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands. For those travelling further afield, Stansted airport is a 45-minute drive from the development.
