Buyers snap up great value homes in Barking

Eager homebuyers are flocking to Taylor Wimpey’s fast-selling Academy Central development in Barking, where brand new homes are being snapped up at an incredible rate.

As word spreads about the great value-for-money homes within this up-and-coming community, smart movers have been wasting no time taking their pick from the high-quality properties available.

The good news for potential buyers is that a wide selection of homes is still available at Academy Central to suit all budgets and requirements, but they are being urged not to delay in securing the home of their dreams.

Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We’ve experienced high levels of demand for the fabulous homes at Academy Central, with the stunning designs, exceptional build quality and sensational prices proving a big attraction to purchasers.

“While there’s still plenty of choice available, interest is showing no sign of letting up – so home-hunters cannot afford to hang about if they want to take their pick of the very best plots currently on offer.”

Just one of the stylish home designs available at Academy Central is the spacious four-bedroom ‘Turner’ townhouse, which can be purchased from the great-value price of £259,995.

Characterised by a light and airy kitchen/dining room with French doors to the private rear garden, the ground floor of the ‘Turner’ is completed by a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway, plus a handy integral garage.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a large living room, a bedroom which could alternatively be used as a home study, and the main bathroom.

A magnificent master suite with adjoining shower room and two further well-proportioned bedrooms can be found on the top floor.

One-bedroom apartments are also available at the development from as little as £129,995, two-bedroom apartments are priced from only £159,995, and three-bedroom apartments start at just £194,995.

Most new homes include allocated parking and each property is completed to a high standard specification, including central district heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Homes at the development are also designed to be up to 25% more energy efficient than properties built just three years ago. Plus, the majority of homes feature ‘green roofs’ which help improve air quality, provide natural insulation and promote bio-diversity.

To make choosing a property at Academy Central even more appealing, a range of time and money-saving incentives is available on selected plots, including help with deposits for first-time buyers, and assistance with finding a purchaser for those with a property to sell.

For example, those receiving help from someone they know to raise a deposit up to 20% of the price of selected homes can benefit from the amazing Family and Friends Advantage scheme, which offers a generous 5% annual return on their investment for five years – that’s a quarter of the investment amount!*

Located off Longbridge Road, stretching across to Mayesbrook Park and bounded by Lodge Avenue, Academy Central enjoys an area with great opportunities for work and leisure, and Vicarage Field, The Mall and Exchange Mall shopping centres are all within easy reach.

A choice of health and fitness centres is also located nearby, while Mayesbrook Park provides acres of green space on the doorstep, including football pitches, tennis and basketball courts, lakes and children’s playgrounds.

Hand-in-hand with the development, Taylor Wimpey and joint venture partner L&Q are investing millions in community facilities in Barking, including the creation of a new primary school and play facilities, adult education and training.

Goodmayes Railway Station is within walking distance of the development, offering regular services to London’s Liverpool Street in just over 20 minutes and to Stratford, home of the 2012 games, in approximately 13 minutes.

To find out more about the new homes at Academy Central, visit the development at Lodge Avenue, off Longbridge Road, Barking, and open Thursday to Monday, between 10am and 5.30pm.
