New build offers the answer for London homebuyers

New build homes that appeal to both young professionals and families are successfully competing head on with the re-sale market, to meet the increasing demand for space-friendly property in the London commuter belt.

The need for new homes in and around the capital has come under the spotlight recently amid growing concerns of an imminent supply shortfall as homebuyer demand rises. However, claims that only high density apartment schemes are currently being built have been refuted, with housebuilders pointing to an array of developments within easy reach of central London.

Linden Homes’ ‘Twenty’ development in Orpington is a prime example of developers meeting the demand for homes that compare favourably in size to equivalent value resale property. Twenty – less than 20 minutes from London Bridge, offers a range of three bedroom, three-storey townhouses with private gardens, allocated parking and en-suite master bedrooms. The development also boasts affordable prices, with homes available from under £300,000, and has proved extremely popular with a range of local buyers - only three homes now remain for sale.

Steve Bangs, Managing Director of Linden Homes South East, comments:

“In an area where space is at a premium, housebuilders have done all they can to maximise the land available for development and to progress innovative techniques to create flexible living environments that meet the changing needs of modern families.

“Options in the re-sale market are currently extremely limited but there are a number of spacious newbuild developments within a short commute of central London, not just at the top end of the market, but also those offering low cost or affordable housing.”

Twenty is a gated development, ideally located within walking distance of Orpington high street and train station. Prices for three bedroom homes with living space in excess of 1,100 square foot, start at £299,995. Customers looking to secure one of the final three homes still have the opportunity to tailor fixtures and fittings to meet their own requirements.
