Taylor Wimpey highlights the rental potential of brand new apartments at its Axis development of flats in Lewisham.

Landlords and investors are being urged not to miss out on a fantastic opportunity to stake their claim in a new development of studios and apartments in Lewisham – one of London’s up-and-coming areas.

Taylor Wimpey’s stunning Axis development of flats for sale in Lewisham enjoys an amazing location in the heart of a borough which is already benefiting from major regeneration projects to create new shops, offices, entertainment venues, transport links and road layouts in time for the 2012 Olympics.

Add this to rapidly improving sports and leisure facilities, proposals for four new or refurbished swimming pools and significant investment in libraries, and it means Lewisham is set to become a ‘metropolitan centre’ within London – making Axis a very promising opportunity for property investors and homebuyers in search of property for sale in Lewisham.

Successive months of property value increases in Lewisham since July last year* provide clear evidence that buyer confidence is back, and with Axis apartments on sale from as little as £154,995 – or as low as £131,745 with Taylor Wimpey’s Easy Start shared equity scheme – savvy buyers are urged to secure their plot.

Paula Carter, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Axis enjoys a prominent location in Lewisham, which means good landlords won’t have any trouble finding tenants to make their investment work, and with so much going on in the area over the coming months, it’s as well to invest now, while prices of these stunning new apartments for sale in Lewisham are such great value.”

Studio apartments at Axis are available for just £154,995 for a 363 sq ft layout and include a contemporary fitted kitchen, a light and airy living area, separate bathroom off the private internal hallway and plenty of storage space.

Giving them extra tenant appeal, all the studios and apartments at Axis benefit from a communal roof garden.

Taylor Wimpey is offering its Easy Start shared equity scheme on selected studios and at Axis, making them available to own from £131,745. Full details and terms and conditions are available from the Sales Executive.

Axis enjoys easy access to Lewisham’s excellent indoor shopping centre and bustling pedestrianised high street where an open-air market is held seven days a week.

The borough’s lively cultural scene includes The Broadway Theatre and Studio, countless restaurants, cafés and bars close at hand, plus a choice of sports and leisure facilities including gyms, swimming pools, dance studios, sports fields and Green Flag parks.

Lewisham station is just a short walk from Axis, with journey times of just 10 minutes to London Bridge or Victoria, while the Docklands Light Railway has its southern terminus in Lewisham. The London Underground is also easily accessible at nearby New Cross.

Further details on investing at Axis in Lewisham are available by visiting the Sales Centre and showhome, located at 262-274 Lewisham High Street and open Friday to Monday from 11am to 6pm and Thursdays from 12pm until 7pm.
