Eager house hunters register for new properties in Dagenham

Since Persimmon Homes Essex launched its first Dagenham development, Evolution, interest in the new build properties has exceeded the housebuilders expectations as househunters are eager to take advantage of the enviable homes on offer for extremely affordable prices.

At Evolution, prices start from just £164,950 on the open market and from £115,465 through the Government-led 70 per cent shared equity HomeBuy Direct scheme for the apartments, meaning living just a few miles from London’s centre is more affordable than ever before.

Neil Sykes, sales director for Persimmon Homes Essex, comments: “Without even opening our marketing suite, which will be later this month, we received a great deal of interest through our hotline and the Persimmon Homes website with over 70 enquiries, from a range of purchasing groups, especially first time buyers as they reported that this is the first time properties have come onto the market at a price they can comfortably afford.”

In addition to the one and two bedroom apartments, Persimmon will also be releases three and four bedroom houses to suit a diverse range of purchasers, including couples and young and growing families and Neil expects interest in the housetypes to be just as popular.

Neil concludes: “At Persimmon we have built a strong reputation on building affordable homes in sought-after locations and this is no more the case than at our Evolution development in Dagenham.”

Evolution benefits from a great location, under a mile from Dagenham’s town centre, which hosts a number of High Street and independent shops as well as cafés, bars and restaurants. London is easily reached within 31 minutes via rail from the Dagenham Dock station to London Liverpool Street, Dagenham is also on the Tube line at Dagenham East or Heathway on the District Line making the development an ideal place to call home for commuters.
