Investment properties are ripe for picking at Appleton Gate

With property prices picking up and the housing market gathering momentum, ‘buy-to-let’ is once again an attractive investment opportunity.

And for those seeking the perfect place to invest at this optimum time, brand new apartments are still priced from only £99,995 at George Wimpey’s Appleton Gate development in Corby.

“Thanks to excellent incentives for investors, combined with the fact that ‘money in the bank’ is failing to produce a good rate of return, starting a property portfolio is an option well worth taking,” says Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Midlands, Kelly French.

“However, with the Halifax reporting that prices rose for the fourth consecutive month in October, it pays for would-be investors not to wait too long before staking their claim and watching their capital grow. The best deals are out there right now!”

One superb investment property available now is the ‘Quartz’ apartment at Appleton Gate, a charming two-bedroom design with 665 sq ft of living accommodation comprising a spacious lounge/dining area off the semi-open plan kitchen, an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom, a main bathroom and a second bedroom off the private entrance hallway.

Completed by ample built-in storage, an allocated parking space, plus contemporary fitted kitchen units, worktops and an integrated oven, hob and hood, this maintenance-free home also comes with the peace of mind of George Wimpey and National House-Building Council warranties.

Located in Great Oakley, Corby, Appleton Gate is an attractive development in a great catchment area for prospective tenants.

The new homes lie within easy reach of Corby town centre, home to the new Willow Place shopping centre plus a vast array of independent and high street stores, new leisure facilities including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, bars and restaurants, as well as schools for children of all ages.

Closer still, a pub/restaurant is located just a stroll from the homes, and a large supermarket is only a short drive away.

The area is also attractive to commuters, thanks to convenient access to the A14, M1, M6 and A1 – and new, direct train services from Corby railway station to London St Pancras.
