Prime Linslade development nears sell out

The countdown has begun on the last 10 apartments at Redrow’s popular development in Linslade.

Now into the home straight, The Wharf is a sought-after venture located alongside the Grand Union Canal in this popular area of Leighton Buzzard.

The spacious two-bedroom apartments offer the ultimate in tranquil waterside living, only a few miles south of Milton Keynes and an easily manageable rail commute to/from London.

They are now even more affordable for first time buyers, thanks to Redrow’s ‘easi:buy’ scheme.

With ’easi:buy’ purchasers can put off paying 15% of the initial asking price on selected properties at The Wharf and have up to 10 years to pay the balance. It makes home ownership cheaper and easier to achieve.

Tonia Tyler, area sales manager for Redrow Homes explains: “At Redrow we understand how easy it is to get caught in the rental trap, spending money on rent when you really want to own a home of your own. With this in mind, we’re delighted we’ve been able to extend our own ‘easi:buy’ scheme to The Wharf.

“It’s the ideal way for first time buyers and others who may be struggling to find a mortgage to step on to the property ladder, as they have up to 10 years to pay the deferred amount and shouldn’t need such a large cash deposit.”

With ‘easi:buy’, customers will own 100% of their home from day one – but only have to pay 85% of the purchase price up front, which means two-bedroom apartments are currently available for an initial outlay from just £127,496.

“And unlike renting, where you don’t have an asset to show for your hard earned cash at the end of the day, if you purchase an apartment in The Wharf and property prices rise, you could potentially find that the value of your investment has increased in years to come,” Tonia added.

With two good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious, open plan kitchen and living area, the apartments have a lot to offer a range of buyers, including those starting out in their first home or those starting over after a change in circumstances.

Linslade is only about 16 miles north of Hemel Hempstead and 14 miles south of Milton Keynes, while trains from Leighton Buzzard to central London can take as little as 35 minutes.

Redrow’s apartments are built to a high-specification and provide the ultimate in low-maintenance living, with top of the range features including prestige Moores kitchens and Smeg appliances. Being brand new they are easy to maintain, energy efficient, kinder to the environment and protected by the NHBC 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty.

The nearby market town of Leighton Buzzard, characterised by quaint streets and historic buildings, can be reached on foot and provides great restaurants and a range of shops, while Milton Keynes is also an easy commute.
