Off-plans deals at The City

First-time buyers and would-be property investors can take advantage of fantastic off-plan apartment deals at The City, George Wimpey’s stylish development in Coventry. The sensational new properties, which will be ready to move into from early 2010, include the contemporary two-bedroom ‘Jackson’ apartment priced just £91,995 and featuring a spacious open-plan kitchen, a light and airy lounge/dining room, fitted wardrobes to the master bedroom, and a well-proportioned bathroom off the private entrance hallway.

Alternative designs include the beautiful ‘Austin’ priced from £124,995 and characterised by a superb ‘turret’ style living/dining room, maximising the light and space enjoyed by the living areas.

Each maintenance-free home also boasts wonderful finishing touches, including a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood, benefits from an allocated parking space and a 10-year National House-Building Council guarantee offering purchasers complete peace of mind.

Daniel McGowan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey, says: “The City is ideal for first-time buyers stepping onto the property ladder, and we’re offering fantastic incentives to make purchasing a home more affordable.

“Our off-plan deals are also a great opportunity for would-be buy-to-let investors to earn a good return on their savings. Instead of keeping money in the bank, savvy investors can put their money into bricks and mortar, take advantage of great prices and a projected 7.25% rental yield on our new apartments.

“And better still, a new home at The City looks set to become a brilliant investment as property prices pick up again.”

In a prime central location on the former Coventry City football ground, The City comprises one and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom homes within easy reach of a vast range of amenities, shops and leisure pursuits, including theatres, concert halls, galleries, bars, restaurants, cafes and a vibrant nightlife.

Commuters will appreciate that the development enjoys easy access to the M6 and M40 motorways, while the city’s railway station operates regular services to London and Birmingham.

For those travelling abroad, Coventry has its own airport with flights to more than 20 European destinations, while Birmingham International is just a 30-minute drive away.
