Persimmon: Upbeat in East Yorkshire

Flying in the face of opinion from some quarters that the UK housing market has slowed, demand for new properties across the East Yorkshire region is continuing unabated according to Persimmon Homes.

Low interest rates, extremely competitively prices and a range of incentives to help get buyers on the move are contributing factors that prove that when it comes to property, now is the time to buy.

“Conflicting news about the property market may have unnerved some potential purchasers, but the reality is that we are experiencing a demand for new homes from people who need to take that next step” comments Andrew Bowes, Persimmon’s regional managing director.

These comments follow hot on the heels of Persimmon’s announcement regarding the closure of the company’s office in Beverley however, far from taking a doom and gloom approach to the performance of the property market across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, Mr Bowes is quick to defend it. He continues: “The truth of the matter is that the reorganisation of Persimmon reflects the challenging trading conditions experienced by both the housing industry and wider economy in recent months.

“Whilst the actual business function at Beverley is to close, it is very much business as usual in terms of volume of activity at our 12 sites across the region. We are still buying land in the area, vendors are still approaching us and we will continue to have a presence.

“We are confident that market activity will improve during the traditional Spring selling period and would like to reassure our existing and potential customers that they will continue to receive the best levels of service from us.”
