Unprecedented sales at ICON in Manchester

Confidence in the North West housing market is going from strength-to-strength according to David Wilson Homes North West, which has experienced unprecedented sales success at its ICON development in Manchester.
Over 90 per cent of the first 33 apartments released at the sought-after development have already been reserved off-plan, which is a testament to the quality of design for which David Wilson Homes is renowned.
Steve Jackson, sales director at David Wilson Homes North West, explains: “ICON offers a stunning collection of spacious one and two bedroom apartments in the heart of Didsbury, so we are not surprised that it has already proven so popular with local purchasers.
“We have experienced a high level of interest from first time buyers in particular, which just goes to show that when situated in the right location, the market for quality designed apartments remains strong.
“At David Wilson Homes we understand that taking that first step onto the property ladder can be daunting, which is why our recognised Easy Start scheme has proved so popular. Specifically designed for first time buyers, Easy Start offers purchasers the chance to move into a stylish new home for just 75 per cent of the price.
“By taking advantage of our Easy Start scheme, purchasers simply need to secure a deposit and mortgage of just 75 per cent, which means lower monthly repayments. The remaining 25 per cent is then paid back, interest free, after 10 years or when the property is sold - whichever comes sooner.”
Easy Start builds on the success of Government-backed schemes such as HomeBuy Direct – which came to an end last month and helped thousands of First Time Buyers into home ownership.
Steve continues: “We only have Easy Start funding available on four remaining one bedroom apartments, so we encourage anyone who is interested in taking advantage of the initiative to register their interest now.
“This popular scheme will also see the opening of a new show apartment, as we look to launch the release of a second phase of 24 two bedroom apartments and would like to invite potential purchasers to come along to experience the quality of living in a David Wilson home for themselves.”
