MAKE THE SMART MOVE

Buy your new home at our stunning Moor Park development

More and more people are making the smart move to Moor Park in Lancaster. High ceilings, spacious, practical family areas, bi-fold doors to private gardens and a glorious country setting make these natural stone houses stand out from other properties on the market in Lancaster.

The developer is the respected developer PJ Livesey, the family firm that converted the neighbouring Lancaster Moor Hospital into award winning apartments.

Group sales manager Gavin Pearce, said: “Since the beginning of the year buyers who have been considering all developments in the area have come and reserved at Moor Park.

“There are so many more developments in and around Lancaster since we started converting at the iconic Hospital and buyers have a great deal of choice. We have found that as soon as buyers come to visit Moor Park after looking at other properties, they can see the real difference in what is on

offer here. You cannot get a feel for Moor Park from a piece of paper and we like nothing more than showing what makes us stand out.

“The lifestyle and setting on offer is unrivalled and we have already reserved four properties in January with buyers interested in a further three!”

There are now just two Oakbrook properties still available and they are premium plots with open aspects and priced from £329,950. These exceptionally spacious four bedroom properties have a large formal living room as well as open plan kitchen and family space with bi-fold doors leading onto the garden.

Help To Buy is available on all properties – just ask our sales team for details.

Designer dressed show home is open on site and available to view.

MOOR PARK HAS IT’S OWN LOCAL RETAILER

Bespoke retail unit next to our Moor Park development will be a Co-op Food Store

Designed to fit in with the development and serve the local neighbourhood the 4,000sq ft store will have its own dedicated car parking for customers.

We have selected the Rochdale based retailer as part of the group’s commitment to supporting local suppliers and producers, together with its strong community support. Construction work will start in Spring as part of the second phase of the development and will open before the end of 2018.

Moor Park is a collection of handsome substantial stone built houses approached down a mature tree lined drive and sits in the grounds of the ‘The Residence’, the award-winning P J Livesey conversion of the former Lancaster Moor Hospital.

The food store is one of a number of community benefits enabled by the development. Other substantial contributions have been made to a local bus service and improvements to nearby football pitches and neighbouring open space.

THE RESIDENCE YORK COMPLETES

We have completed the final apartment at The Residence, our conversion of the former Terry’s Chocolate Factory Building at York

This has been an incredible project and a wonderful success story for everyone concerned. We are very pleased that the final home has now been finished with the new owners moving in before Christmas.

The sheer scale of the building and its heritage significance has needed all the company’s skill in order to convert and we are delighted that this has been recognised with a number of awards.

There was unprecedented demand from buyers who wanted to live in this iconic building which has proved to be the company’s fastest selling development. 163 luxury apartments and penthouses were sold in just 12 months.

The mix of properties has made The Residence a thriving community and has provided a lasting legacy for the city, preserving this much – loved landmark for years to come. The P J Livesey team are looking forward to converting the neighbouring clock tower early in the New Year.

Great News For First Time Buyers

GREAT NEWS FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS

Stamp duty has been removed on properties under £300,000

The budget announcement is guaranteed to bring with it the usual mixture of grins and groans as the impact on our lives and finances unravel. What we do know is that one of the chancellors priorities is getting the housing market moving and to do that the market needs first time buyers.

But the challenges for first time buyers getting onto the property ladder are well known. According to the Halifax first time buyer review the average price for a first home is a record £207,693. The survey also found the average first time buyer would have to stump up over £32,000 deposit – equating to 16% of the purchase price and then pay stamp duty over and above that.

Now things are changing and many first time buyers will be smiling like Cheshire cats this morning. In a move to stimulate the housing market, stamp duty has been removed on properties under £300,000.

That is good news for the market as Gavin Pearce, Group Sales Manager at P J Livesey explained, “I can’t think of a better time over recent years for first time buyers to buy a new build home. We have found affordability and raising deposit to be the main factors preventing first time buyers purchasing from us.

“Over recent years we have seen a change in the market, with smaller and smaller properties being made available by other developers to fit the affordability of first time buyers. P J Livesey build larger than average properties with high specification in a good location and now we have a great combination of Help to Buy, the reduction in stamp duty and P J Livesey’s stamp duty exception to offer first time buyers.

“This means a first-time buyer using a combination of Help to Buy and developer gifted deposit can buy a new luxury apartment in prestigious development with only a deposit from only £5,000 and there is no stamp duty to pay.

“Or, for first time buyers using Help to Buy and developer gifted deposit looking for an executive family home with 4 bedrooms, a garage and garden with a superior specification could require only £19,800 deposit and P J Livesey will pay the stamp duty over £300,000.

“Every first time buyers situation is different and there is no guarantee the numbers will stack up, but it is definitely worth enquiring and finding out for yourself.”
