Redrow celebrates Chinese New Year

9th February 2010 Print

Buyers in Barking Central can take advantage of some amazing offers as Redrow celebrates Chinese New Year.

The award winning homebuilder is marking the Year of the Tiger with a special evening on Thursday 18th February 6pm – 9pm.

Mary Timlin, sales director for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), said: “Potential purchasers who visit The Lemonade Building at Barking Central on this evening (February 18th) can enjoy a taste of the orient with fortune cookies as they discuss their housing needs with our friendly and experienced sales team.

“Customers who reserve a new home during the promotional event will be able to take advantage of some unparalleled offers, including substantial discounts and incentives on selected plots.”

The Lemonade Building offers stylishly designed, easy to maintain and energy efficient apartments, only 20 minutes by train from Canary Wharf and 15 minutes from Fenchurch Street.

One-bedroom apartments are currently available from £143,000 so, with a 30% equity loan through the Government-backed HomeBuy Direct scheme, purchasers could find themselves catapulted onto the property ladder for an initial outlay of just £100,000.

Under HomeBuy Direct first time buyers, key workers and people re-entering the property market after a relationship break-up are among those who can apply for these homes – provided their annual household income is less than £60,000.

“First time buyers should take inspiration from the tiger, a brave and independent animal, and take their initial step onto the property ladder with a brand new home at The Lemonade Building,” Mary commented.

It also includes some two-bedroom designs, which enjoy the luxury of en-suite to master bedroom. All properties have a balcony for that all-important outdoor space.

The unusual name of The Lemonade Building, a 17-storey block of 136 apartments reflects the fact that it’s close to where R-Whites Lemonade was once made. It’s also the final chapter of a hugely successful regeneration story.

The wider scheme, Barking Central, has created more than 500 residential apartments, as well as prime retail space, a new state of the art library and lifelong learning centre, a hotel and the unique feature of a specially created arboretum planted with 40 mature trees.

Home owners will benefit from owning a quality built, brand new home that’s easy to maintain and efficient to run. It won’t require the costly repairs or renovations of an older second hand property, but will feature Redrow’s sophisticated specification, including fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances.

Two stunning show apartments on the 12th floor, with panoramic views of the city, give potential buyers an insight into city living at its best.
