Student find perfect pad in Swansea
It’s not uncommon for university students to turn to their parents for financial help if they’re struggling to pay their rent with their limited student loans, but if you’re a parent, Charles Church has a solution to ensure you benefit too. With luxury waterfront apartments offered for sale at remarkable price at Aurora in Swansea, you might find it cheaper and more convenient to invest in a home for your child instead of forking out for rent each month. Peter Hicks, a Building Consultant Engineer, chose to buy an apartment at Charles Church’s Aurora development for his daughter Gemma, a textiles and fashion design student at the University of Swansea. “I wanted to buy Gemma a home within easy reach of Swansea city centre, so it would be easy for her to travel to her lectures each day,” he said. “What’s more, Aurora is only 40 minutes away from my home in Bridgend, so I’ll be able to visit Gemma regularly.”
Gemma chose a two bedroom apartment, comprising an open plan living room and kitchen and a balcony overlooking the waterfont. As the kitchen is fitted with a stainless steel oven, hob and chimney hood, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer, the apartment was completely ready for her to move into. Peter said: ”The apartment is ideal for my daughter as it features two bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom. As Gemma’s boyfriend Hadley, who also attends the university, will be living with her, it means they will both have their own space. “What’s more, the high standard and finish of the homes at Aurora was not matched at any other apartments I viewed.”
Charles Church is currently offering their FairShare scheme at Aurora, which makes the buying process even easier. The scheme allows you to pay for just 75 per cent of the cost of your new apartment, yet own 100 per cent. The remaining 25 per cent is only due to be paid after ten years or when you sell your home, with no interest or rent to pay in the meantime. Using this scheme, an exclusive two bedroom apartment at Aurora can be purchased for only £138,746, a huge saving of £46,249! With prices this low, buying at Aurora is an ideal investment, as Peter comments: “If Gemma decides to move out of her apartment when she has finished studying, I’m certain that I’ll be able to rent it out for a good return to other students in Swansea.”
The quintessential University City, Swansea offers abundant leisure and entertainment opportunities to suit all tastes. The range of shops is wide and diverse, from high street brands to independent retailers, and also the largest indoor market in Wales. In the evening you can choose from enjoying a meal at one of many restaurants, a drink at a bar or pub, or perhaps watching a play, film or show at a choice of theatres, cinemas or concert halls. Benefiting from excellent road and rails links, Swansea is easily accessible from the rest of the country.
