Phil Spencer recommends Bristol

Bristol's property market, help for first time buyers and working in television proved top of the list of subjects on the minds of house hunters in the city at the weekend when TV’s Phil Spencer joined Barratt at its award winning development, The Zone in Bristol.

The TV presenter and property expert was on hand as Barratt reaches the end of the current phase of development at The Zone with just a handful of one bedroom apartments still remaining.

“There’s no doubt this is a great location,’’ said Phil who has been presenting property programmes for the last 10 years.

“The development with its own gym and roof terrace really sets itself apart from others. City centre living where people can walk or cycle to work is becoming increasingly popular and the ability to work, socialise and exercise within a close distance to home is attractive.’’

Phil’s appearance at The Zone proved a major draw for first time buyers and investors interesting in buying at the development and three homes were reserved during the day.

“It was great to have Phil at the development and hear his thoughts on the current market, how schemes like HomeBuy Direct can help first time buyers and of course learn more about his television career,’’ said Barratt sales director Andrea Pilgrim.

“Phil was excellent with his knowledge of the property market and visitors on the day were truly impressed with his expertise and advice. And to sell several homes on the day made it even more special and we now have just three properties left."

Phil was among a host of experts at the city centre development on Saturday with others including financial experts, solicitors and sales advisors.
