Situated close to the campus of the University of Essex in Colchester, Weston Homes'Hawkins Wharf is proving to be a popular choice for the town's large student population and with rental yields estimated at up to 7% per annum, the development has understandably attracted the attention of property investors.
With a range of one- and two-bedroom apartments priced from £123,000 and £150,000 respectively, the development offers choice to singles, couples and friends who want to enjoy the excellent interior specification, riverside location and proximity to the campus and town centre.
Bob Weston, Weston Homes' chairman and chief executive, says: "The homes at Hawkins Wharf offer outstanding value for money, luxurious interiors, a fantastic location and unspoiled views of the river. The exceptional level of specification has proved particularly popular and with a huge demand from students, the development continues to be an attractive opportunity to investors."
The stylish interiors have chic fitted kitchens and high-quality appliances, elegant bathrooms, and wooden flooring, providing a thoroughly modern look that will especially appeal to younger tenants.
Estate agency and letting agents Jackson & Co are working alongside Weston Homes at the development. Dean Jackaman, Jackson & Co Managing Director, commented: "We have an excellent arrangement with Essex University students and take them very seriously and even encourage their parents to buy rather than rent, as huge savings can be achieved over two or three years."
Hawkins Wharf is located just a few minutes from Hythe station in the southeast of Colchester, with regular rail and other public transport links to the town centre and local area. Colchester is well connected by road and rail to numerous destinations in Essex, East Anglia and London itself, with express services from the town's mainline station taking as little as 50 minutes into the capital, making it an excellent choice for commuters.
