Outstanding opportunities for South West homebuyers and investors

The Moorings, Crest Nicholson’s latest waterside addition at its successful and desirable Port Marine development at Portishead, offers homebuyers and investors the perfect opportunity to make an easy and stress-free purchase of a fabulous new home.

The new phase comprises nine luxury four bedroom townhouses with courtyard gardens, each of which comes with their own 35 foot mooring at the beautiful Marina, in addition to an eclectic seven storey building which boasts 31 contemporary two bedroom apartments, many with spectacular waterside views.

Prospective buyers and investors can discuss with Crest Nicholson’s sales team the different options and schemes available to them and the rental returns they should expect – which are currently in the region of £650-£850 per month for a two bedroom apartment and up to £1,500 per month for the luxury penthouse - making it a great investment for the savvy property owner.

Laura Osborne, Sales Manager for Crest Nicholson, said: “Now is a great opportunity for buyers and investors to come and speak to our team, ask questions and get help with taking the first exciting step to buying one of these stunning properties.

“There is great potential at The Moorings for investors and we already have several properties owned by investors at our Port Marine development which are being successfully rented out and urge others to find out how they can benefit from this market as well.”

One such investor is Linda McMahon who moved to Port Marine from Swindon ten years ago to be closer to her husband Paul’s job in Avonmouth. In addition to the five bedroom detached Crest Nicholson home that the couple live in, Linda has built up an impressive investment portfolio of five properties, two of which were built by Crest Nicholson and are located in Port Marine.

Linda commented: “I was initially attracted to Port Marine due to its investment potential, and bought my first property, a two bedroom house in the summer of 2009, and then a second two bedroom home ten months later. I’ve found it really easy to rent these properties out as there seems to be a high demand from people wanting to rent in Port Marine as it’s such a lovely area with plenty to do.

“I chose to invest with Crest Nicholson because their properties are reliable, look good and offer excellent value for money and a good rate of return. The staff have provided an excellent service, both during the sale and afterwards, so I would definitely invest with them again. I am very much in this for the long term as property really is the best place to invest my money, even in the current climate, and Crest Nicholson has made the whole process easier.”

The townhouses offer spacious living accommodation, including a kitchen/ dining room with a centre island, a large living room with terrace and balcony to the first floor, and a master bedroom en suite with fabulous wet room and double shower. The top floor offers a sun room and roof terrace where homeowners can relax and enjoy the spectacular waterside views in their own private surroundings.

The Moorings apartments offer homebuyers open plan living areas with the added luxury of a private balcony or terrace to enjoy relaxing by the water and taking in the stunning views. Each apartment has an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom, as well as a family bathroom and also offers allocated parking. The Penthouse apartments provide buyers with great room sizes and spacious roof terraces.

The Moorings has everything that homebuyers might desire, being perfectly situated to take advantage of the great range of amenities that Port Marine has to offer, including a Waitrose supermarket within walking distance and a range of bars, restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes, as well as places to sail, fish or try out the local watersports on offer. There is also Portishead Lido, an indoor swimming pool and fitness centre close by, as well as good schools for those with young families.
