Make a stress-free purchase at ICON in Street
First time buyers and investors in Somerset, who are looking for an easy and stress-free purchase of a fabulous new home, need to look no further than Crest Nicholson’s Open Weekend at ICON in Street (22 and 23 May).
The event will offer homebuyers a sneak preview of the eco-development’s brand new show apartment, as well as the opportunity to save an outstanding £5,000 on a new home.
The Open Weekend will give prospective buyers the chance to explore the stylish one-bedroom apartment show home, in addition to the wide variety of other properties available. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the open space in the development, including Lime Tree close and a wildlife garden, all set within easy reach of the picturesque Somerset countryside. The area is perfect for those wanting to be close to the amenities of Street town centre as it is just a short walk away.
Investors can meet the Crest team to discover how easy it is to buy an eco home, and the rental returns they should expect – which are currently in the region of £495 per month for a one bedroom apartment and up to £675 per month for a two bedroom apartment at ICON - making it a great investment for the savvy property owner.
Laura Osborne, Sales Manager for Crest Nicholson, said; “The weekend is a great opportunity for first time buyers and investors to come and speak to our team, ask questions and get help with taking the first exciting step to buying an eco home. Not forgetting the fact that if they wish to reserve a property that weekend, we will be exclusively offering a £5,000 discount.
“We already have a number of properties owned by investors which are being successfully rented out at the development and urge others to find out how they can benefit from this market as well."

“We have had many people come to us who are interested in renting a property at the ICON development. The energy-saving features really appeal to tenants and the ICON properties we manage have all been quickly snapped up.”
