Help for priced-out Cornish purchasers
With new research showing that the start of winter doesn’t mean an end to second home-buys in counties like Cornwall, and this demand driving up prices by as much as 2% last month; it is no wonder that locals are becoming increasingly concerned about being priced off the housing ladder.
For prospective purchasers worried about how to get on the West Country property ladder, Annington Homes are holding open days on Saturday 27th November at their Calshot Rise and Greenfields developments, where representatives from Start & Co. Estate Agents will be on hand to offer free, expert advice and talk through the range of properties on offer; with prices starting from just £134,950.
Annington Homes will be holding the open days, between 9am and 11am at Calshot Rise in St Columb Minor; 32 Calshot Close, St Columb Minor, TR7 3HL and from 12pm to 2pm at Greenfields in St Eval; 48 Lancaster Crescent, St Eval, Cornwall, PL27 7TP. Guests will be given the opportunity to view the second phase of two and four bedroom terrace homes at the popular Calshot Rise development, situated on the outskirts of St Columb Minor.
Meanwhile, guests at Greenfields will be able to view this development of renovated three bedroom semi-detached homes, located in the established community of St Eval. Boasting refreshed, contemporary interiors, the properties have been refurbished to create modern family homes that are practically as good as new. Homes offer brand new kitchens with integrated appliances and bathrooms, new landscaping, ample parking spaces, large family gardens and new and contemporary décor.
Angela Walsh, Head of Sales & Marketing at Annington, commented: “We recognise how difficult it is for people who are born and bred in Cornwall to get on to the housing ladder at the moment. The homes at both of our Greenfields and Calshot Rise developments are proving extremely popular with first time buyers and young families living in the local area, who otherwise couldn’t afford to get on the housing ladder. With this latest influx in second-home sales expected over the winter period, pricing even more people out of the local market, I’m confident that our realistically priced developments will attract even more attention.”
Bradley Start, a Partner at Newquay-based Start & Co. Estate Agents, commented: “This Saturday is an ideal opportunity for people to come and see what is on offer at both of Annington’s Cornish developments; the combination of reasonably priced properties, close proximity to the coast, well sized homes and gardens. Over 50% of homes have been sold at Calshot Rise since April, and the first sale has just completed at the newer Greenfields development.”
Prices at Calshot Rise start from £134,950 for a two-bedroom house, whilst a three-bedroom house can be purchased from £154,950 at Greenfields. For more information on Calshot Rise or Greenfield, visit: annington.co.uk
