Merchant's Quarter

First time buyers looking for a new home in Stevenage need look no further than Crest Nicholson’s Merchant’s Quarter development.

To help potential purchasers understand the potential of the homes on offer and to provide on-site assistance for those interested in buying, the award winning house-builder is pleased to announce the arrival of its stunning new show apartment and sales and marketing suite which are being unveiled to the public over the weekend of 20th – 21st November.

Chris Warner, Sales & Marketing Director, Crest Nicholson South comments: “Opening a new show apartment and having our experienced Sales Advisors on site gives prospective buyers the opportunity to make a more informed decision about buying an apartment at Merchant’s Quarter. The show apartment will demonstrate to potential buyers just what they can do with a spacious two bedroom apartment at this well located development and with the fantastic EasyBuy incentive on offer Crest Nicholson is opening up the property market to those previously priced out of it.”

A select number of the one and two bedroom properties on site are exclusively available on Crest Nicholson’s EasyBuy initiative, where buyers can own 100% of their home but only pay 80% of the price. With the scheme, purchasers will own 100% of their new property from day one. Unlike other incentives, with EasyBuy there is absolutely no rent to pay or interest accrued on the outstanding 20% of the property’s equity for the first five years. The 20% is paid back as a percentage of the property’s open market value at any time up to resale or after 10 years, whichever is sooner.

All apartments at Merchant’s Quarter are finished to the high quality associated with Crest Nicholson. Kitchens come complete with stylish units, worktops and brushed steel Bosch appliances, including an electric oven, hob and chimney hood. Bathrooms include elegant Hansgrohe fittings. Each property will also come with a designated parking space.

Situated on the tree lined avenue Sish Lane, Merchant’s Quarter is within walking distance of Stevenage’s affluent Old Town. The development is also a short walk away from the more modern New Town and train station, where trains to London St Pancras take just under half an hour, making it an ideal location for commuters.

The nearby King George V playing fields are just a stone’s throw away from the development and are perfect for walking, jogging or even just a chance to relax in the sunshine. Also, just a short drive away is the larger Fairlands Valley Park, voted as one of the UK’s top 15 free visitor attractions. Fairlands Valley has many activities on offer including climbing, hiking and a range of water sports for the more adventurous.

Transport links from the site are excellent with junction seven and eight of the A1(M) within easy reach, whilst the surrounding towns of St Albans, Luton and Welwyn Garden City are also within close proximity. For international travel, Luton Airport is just fifteen miles away making business travel and even short European breaks more accessible.

Apartments available to purchase using Crest Nicholson’s EasyBuy scheme start at £99,960 with EasyBuy (£124,950 full price) for a one bedroom apartment and £115,960 with EasyBuy (£144,950 full price) for a two bedroom apartment. For more information, to view the show apartment or take a virtual tour, visit the Sales and Marketing suite, which is open five days a week from Thursday to Monday 10am - 5pm.
