National housebuilder Crest Nicholson has launched a range of apartments in Marehay, on the outskirts of Ripley, Derbyshire. These new properties are sure to appeal to owner-occupiers and investors alike, with rental returns of up to 6% expected. Prices start at £85,950.
Denby Bank is located on the site of the old Denby Pottery, one of the country's most famous ceramics manufacturers and comprises a mix of property types with one to four bedrooms.
Amanda Benjamin, senior sales manager for Crest Nicholson, says: "We've had a lot of interest in our houses at Denby Bank and are thrilled to now be offering our new apartments for sale. These new homes really boast the property trifecta - impressive contemporary design, picturesque surroundings and affordability - and as a result they are ideal for a wide range of buyers. We expect demand to be high, so would advise people to get in quick if they want to secure one."
First-time buyers who are struggling to afford to get onto the property ladder can take advantage of the FirstBuy assistance scheme, where they can defer payment of up to 20% of the purchase price and put down just a 5% deposit. The up-front price of a one-bedroom ‘Azure' apartment comes down to £68,760 with the scheme and a two-bedroom ‘Sienna' apartment costs £81,560, with the balance deferred for up to 25 years via an equity loan, interest-free for the first five years.
There's a choice of other properties too, including three-bedroom homes priced from £139,950 and four-bedroom houses from £209,950. You can find out more about the full roster of available homes at Denby Bank and the FirstBuy purchase scheme by visiting the development from 10.00am to 5.00pm, seven days a week.
