DIY amensty at Crest's Harbourside in Bristol
With about 200,000 DIY-related injuries sustained every year* Britain really is DIY mad and that is why the sales team at Crest Nicholson’s Harbourside development in Bristol are urging people to down tools and boycott the home improvements this bank holiday.
Instead, they are advising people use their time to take a look at their stunning waterside properties that have not only proved popular with house hunters but will make for a more relaxing and pain-free bank holiday weekend.
Susan Young, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson aid: “If you are fed up with wasting your weekends and bank holidays on menial DIY tasks, look no further than the beautiful waterfront apartments at Harbourside. The new-build homes are fully fitted with no need for home improvements.”
Studies have shown that in addition to DIY related injuries, approximately 5 million UK homeowners attempted a home improvement such as plumbing or decorating that resulted in them having to pay out to get their own work fixed.
And the team at Harbourside believes that new builds are the way forward for the disaster stricken British public.
Susan added: “Not only can DIY be dangerous it also costs a surprising amount of money, especially when it goes wrong with the average cost of a DIY accident standing at around £500**.
“The homes at Harbourside are ready for immediate occupation and with everything being brand new means no time or money has to be spent on unnecessary and costly DIY.”
The most common disasters DIY-ers have mishaps with involve tools such as power drills, circular saws, chainsaws and ladders. Replacing floors, fitting electric showers and fixing bathroom leaks have all proved to be disastrous for the DIY enthusiast.
Susan said: “Carelessness and a lack of knowledge cause many of us to fall foul of DIY every year so why not consider the easy option where your home can be finished to a high quality specification with no hassle.”
For those wanting a DIY-free weekend, looking around the development at Harbourside will showcase the modern design of the apartments, the amazing location overlooking Bristol’s historic floating harbour and the enviable proximity to the city centre with all its amenities.
On top of the countless benefits a new property can bring, Harbourside possesses a number of endearing features that has made it Bristol’s premier waterside development.
Its location, the variety of styles and oversized nature of the properties on offer all add to its premier status. And for those house hunters wanting to live near the vibrant city centre, nothing can compare to what’s on offer at Harbourside.
The latest phase at the Harbourside, Beacon House, comprises 47, one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Spread over seven floors every property in the phase benefits from water views. And with 50% of the properties now sold in the phase, those thinking of buying will need to act quickly.
Prices at Harbourside currently start from £259,000.
