Be a part of the Croydon property boom
Taylor Wimpey urges homebuyers to stake their claim in one of the most sought-after property hotspots in England and Wales by choosing a brand new home at its 793 London Road development of flats for sale in Croydon.
The London Borough of Croydon, home to Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after 793 London Road development of Croydon flats, is one of the fastest-growing property hotspots in the country – and that’s official!
At a time when commentators were reporting doom and gloom in the housing market, buyers were busy snapping up their choice of homes right across this buzzing borough, with an incredible 73% increase in sales of houses and flats in Croydon recorded in the first half of this year compared to the same period in 2009.
This huge rise means Croydon is the second biggest homebuying hotspot in the whole of England and Wales, according to leading mortgage lender Halifax’s analysis of official figures from the Land Registry. Halifax highlighted the borough’s excellent transport links to central London among the many reasons for the boom in Croydon property.
And the even better news for property-seekers is that they can secure their own place in the heart of this flourishing community by choosing from the selection of stylish apartments in Croydon available now at 793 London Road from as little as £114,745*.
Paula Carter, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Despite what some sections of the media would have us believe, we’ve long been experiencing the property boom in many areas of London, with good quality homes in the borough of Croydon in particularly high demand.
“By reserving one of the beautiful contemporary apartments on sale now at 793 London Road in Thornton Heath, buyers can stake their claim in this thriving neighbourhood today – for a price they’ll find difficult to beat!”
Just one brand new one-bedroom apartment is available at 793 London Road with Taylor Wimpey’s fantastic Easy Start shared equity scheme, which lets qualifying buyers secure their new home now for 85% of the full price – that’s just £114,745.
All the lucky purchaser needs to do is find a deposit as low as 10%** – only £13,500 – and the leading housebuilder will provide 15% equity in the form of an interest-free loan, repayable in up to three instalments over a 10-year period.
A choice of alternative one-bedroom apartments is available at the development from just £139,995, while two-bedroom, two-bathroom designs are priced from only £184,995.
Selected plots benefit from attractive individual features, such as private balconies, while all apartments enjoy access to a delightful communal garden terrace.
Ideally located in Thornton Heath, 793 London Road is popular with a wide range of buyers including city commuters and is within easy reach of a wide range of shops and restaurants, a new sports and leisure centre and Thornton Heath railway station, which puts London Victoria only 25 minutes away.
Croydon town centre is just two miles from the new homes, providing an excellent array of trendy bars and places to eat, a wealth of shops and leisure facilities including the Centrale shopping centre, the Clocktower theatre, Croydon Sports Arena and a choice of cinemas and dance venues.
The Sales Centre at 793 London Road is open Friday to Monday from 11am to 6pm and from 12pm to 7pm on Thursdays.
