Savers become speculators at Invito

The range of great value apartments at George Wimpey’s ‘Invito’ development in Gants Hill, Essex, offers an outstanding opportunity for savers to become successful property investors – and swap low interest savings accounts for high rental yields.

Those with money in the bank can benefit from the range of stylish one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes, available from just £112,995, by capitalising on attractive rental yields.

“For someone with £20,000 of savings, most easy access savings accounts offer less than 3% interest against national average rental yields of just above 6%,” says Tina Dedman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey.

“In the short-term these strong returns deliver excellent regular income for landlords, while investment in a property at Invito also offers a longer-term opportunity for capital growth on the purchase price.”

For example, local agents have identified monthly rental returns of £650 on the second floor studio apartments which start at just £112,995 and feature a light and airy living room/bedroom, separate kitchen fitted with contemporary units and a built-in oven, hob and hood, full bathroom and a storage closet.

One-bedroom apartments are also available priced from £159,995 and include a living room with semi open-plan kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom and a storage closet off the entrance hall.

Buyers can also customise properties at Invito through George Wimpey’s stunning Options range – a beautiful selection of interior design features and fittings, including space-saving wardrobes, downlighters, and superb carpets and floorings.

Invito is ideally located in up-and-coming Gants Hill, with selected apartments enjoying panoramic, balcony views over city landmarks, including the London Eye, the Gherkin and the site of the 2012 Olympic village.

Gants Hill is a vibrant place to live, with stores, cafes, restaurants and bars close by, while Ilford, just two miles away, offers an excellent shopping centre. For leisure, Fairlop Waters in nearby Barkingside is an ideal place for a round of golf, wind-surfing, angling, sailing or horse riding.

The development is also just minutes from Gants Hill Underground Station, and only five stops from Stratford, ensuring purchasers are perfectly placed for Docklands, The City and for the 2012 Games.
